@SenSchumer@POTUS Color me a cynic, but aren't you an OLIGARCH along w/ most of your D & R cronies in the "US Congressional Club"?
Per an online search on what YOU were worth years before ($1M) and today, after 25 years in the US Senate (legalized oligarchy) there's an $80M increase - NOT BAD!!!
Credit for millions who've receive loan forgiveness, @potus@JoeBiden@SecCardona - YES (applause)!!!
Spare us tho' https://t.co/sAkeYllSHW such rehashing of who still isn't qualifying (bogus deferments) under #PSLF...
If we've put in the time, loan forgiveness is due, too!
@AFTunion@rweingarten@SecCardona
Fight on!!!
I need 40+ months to get to the 120-month count.
https://t.co/9VJ81FXdxL
I have another 60+ months tagged "deferment" that don't qualify for the buy back option...
Isn't the whole point of #PSLF to encourage [full-time] PUBLIC SVC?
For context, I currently have 77 #PSLF months counted plus another 63 or so months ("in deferment") of eligible full-time public service I hope can be counted for student loan forgiveness...
https://t.co/9vZAveMSd9 - Can anyone tell me if this is the more of the same or do ALL months of public service (on eligible student loans) now count towards buyback for #PSLF?
@usedgov@SecCardona@MOHELA
@AdamSMinsky What's changed? The "updates" are just regurgitations looping back to the same...
If @POTUS@JoeBiden@SecCardona@usedgov really wanted to support public servants thru/#PSLF, they might start allowing buybacks for ALL eligible months of public service - at a minimum!!!
@SenSchumer You've been a US Senator since 1999 & a US Rep since 1981.
Are you telling us you're only finally interested in Soc. Security b/c you're of the age to collect max benefits now (on top of your gov pension)?https://t.co/aPNKTXrZL9
To quote @billmaher "You can look this sh*t up..."
@MindenNv don’t know if we could come back… 1st floor accommodation is located next to ppl in the next rooms over down the hall constantly slamming the doors 🥺
Genuinely curious... Are these "new" changes more of the same or will they revamp #PSLF to include hitherto uncounted, yet otherwise qualifying months into the 120 total?

If any can shed light on this, it would be greatly appreciated!

My Letter to President Biden:
Mr. President,
I request strongly that, before you leave the White House, you take two executive actions:
1. Scrap the "new bankruptcy process" for student loan, stop opposing student loan borrowers in bankruptcy court. Call on Congress to repeal 11 USC 523a(8).
2. Cancel federal student loans immediately, using HEA 1082 a(6).
This is your legacy, Mr President. The federal student loan program, as you should know, is failed. You promised both bankruptcy and cancellation in 2020. Up to this point you have not done that, and the large majority of all borrowers are unable to even pay on their loans.
We are seeing a spike in suicides, gruesome violent crimes, and many other terrible outcomes related to this weaponized, predatory debt, and it is time to address it meaningfully, before things go really bad at the end of the Summer, when the collection companies will be unleashed on the country.
Lending systems fail from time to time, as you know. You should be honest and acknowledge that fact for federal student loans, deliver to the people what you promised, and lay the groundwork for the next President to replace this failed, nationally threatening loan scam- and it is a scam- with something that is rationally priced, and doesn't financially ruin the large majority of people who use it.
I have zero confidence that either Kamala or Donald Trump will do these things as President, so it is up to you.
You have all the power needed to do this today. We're counting on you to be a decent man, a man of your word, and to do the right thing.
Great Presidents do great, bold things.
Godspeed-
Alan Collinge
@usedgov@FAFSA It would be nice if @SecCardona & @POTUS & @VP would ensure NOW buyback for ALL months of eligible FT public svc... regardless of status of loan - ALL "in-grace", "deferment", or "forbearance"...
#CancelStudentDebt
@POTUS@VP@SecCardona@JamesKvaal
We were steered into deferment during “grace periods” by @usedgov-backed loan “service” companies… We weren’t offered an opt out - even our explicit requests got ignored.
Count ALL FT public service towards #PSLF regardless of payment status!
If @JoeBiden and @TheDemocrats want to avoid defeat in November, they will DO WHAT THEY PROMISED on #studentloans.
1. Return standard bankruptcy rights.
2. Cancel loans by executive order USING THE RIGHT LAW.
Hmm… Where are my latest posts on #PSLF, etc.?😱
Honestly, I merely posts these as “public” rants into the void, directed to the virtual versions of @POTUS@SecCardona or @usedgov - no realistic expectations of them ever going viral… 🫢
@POTUS@DNC@TheDemocrats instead of just trying to keep yourselves in power, DO MORE for the average American voters…
IDK like honoring the service of public servants stuck in #PSLF hell…
For ex., 60 months of my otherwise qualified months FT employment don’t count 4 PSLF 😢
