On Friday, the Department of Education issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program to exclude organizations that engage in activities that are illegal from being qualifying employers. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on August 18 and has a 30-day comment period. Comments can be submitted through regulations.gov. ED expects to finalize the rule by November 1, 2025, so it can go into effect July 1, 2026.
