Today a U.S. district judge vacated the Trump Administration’s Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) regulation which amended the definition of “qualifying employer” to exclude organizations that engage in unlawful activities such that they have a “substantial illegal purpose”, including supporting terrorism, providing gender affirming care, and aiding and abetting illegal immigration. The judge ruled that Congress did not give the Department the ability to revise definition of a public service job. The rule was set to take effect tomorrow. The ruling is here.
