Student Loan Borrowers Flounder Without Access to Forgiveness

Federal student loan borrowers who qualify to have their loans discharged are waiting in the dark for their promised loan forgiveness.
Earlier this year, the Department of Education temporarily paused time-based student loan forgiveness for borrowers under the Income-Based Repayment plan. It unclear when the department will reopen the only forgiveness option that was left to borrowers. As the tax deadline for student loan forgiveness approaches and budgets get tighter, borrowers are frustrated and waiting for action from the Department of Education.
