Trump Administration Agrees to Expand Student Loan Forgiveness Under IDR Programs

Trump administration agrees to deliver more student loan forgiveness

The Trump administration has agreed to forgive student debt under income-driven repayment programs it had partially blocked.

The outcome is the result of an agreement between the American Federation of Teachers and the U.S. Department of Education.

More than 2.5 million borrowers are in either the original Income-Contingent Repayment plan or the Pay as You Earn plan, according to an estimate by higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz.
