We are a grassroots group who successfully lobbied Congress to amend the Higher Education Act which will allow us to separate Joint Consolidation Loans.
BREAKING: FOLKS, WE DID IT! My bill to help those that are stuck in consolidated student loans passed the House, and it’s headed to the President’s desk for a final signature. I’ve been working on getting these borrowers justice for so many years, and finally it is within reach!
@SecCardona@POTUS Biden signed the joint consolidation loan separation act in October 2022! Ball is in your court! What are YOU doing to implement the law and to fight for joint spousal loan holders?!
@SenSchumer How about demanding that the Dept of Ed implement the Joint Consolidated Loan Separation Act? It's been law of the land since October of '22. @usdoegov refuses to implement it. @Navient won't place loans in Administrative Forbearance pending its implementation. @SC_DoUsPart
@AOC How about demanding that the Dept of Ed implement the Joint Consolidated Loan Separation Act? It's been law of the land since October of '22. @usdoegov refuses to implement it. @Navient won't place loans in Administrative Forbearance pending its implementation. @SC_DoUsPart

@SecCardona The worst thing abt this is there are REAL probs w/SL system that Congress said needed to be fixed but we cant get the LAW EXECUTED bc of this poli game you knew you'd lose! All efforts focused to EO & paused borrowers while JCL borrowers pay & pay & pay & pay on defunct loans!
@SecCardona@usedgov Yes. That does suck, sir. You do have the power still to help Joint Spousal Student Loan holders though. We are still waiting 8 months later for you to separate our loans. It is solely in your hands now and we have been waiting and waiting. @SC_DoUsPart
@POTUS Start by demanding that the Dept of Ed implement the Joint Consolidated Loan Separation Act. It's been law of the land since October of '22. @usdoegov
refuses to implement it. @Navient
won't place loans in Administrative Forbearance pending its implementation. @SC_DoUsPart
@bobwhamma @POTUS@usdoegov@Navient@SC_DoUsPart@SecCardona This man has given his entire adult life to serve and educate our kids. @usdoegov @UnderSecKvaal @SecCardona save youself the headache. CANCEL all FFEL Consolidated Spousal Loans. They will all be discharged after implementating the JCLSA anyway. Save yourselves the headache.
@SecCardona Yep I am outraged. Outraged that DoE put ALL of its eggs in this 10/20k forgiveness basket! What of us? Implement PL117-200! It’s been 262 days since it became law & NO action on your part. Suffering for DECADES! U have to power to make it stop! Separate NOW! @SC_DoUsPart
Trust ended in '06 for us & we've been taking a beating ever since...

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.
After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.
🧵1/3 How sad the myriad of horrors w/ Student Loans are bringing such hateful conversations. If you're fortunate enough to not have a SL problem, be grateful.
Have some damned GRACE.
Because you really CAN'T imagine what it's like.
Ya think "poor choices"..welp..
@SC_DoUsPart
2/3 You mustn't assume. There are hardworking, tax-paying, public servants of ALL ages desperate for SL reform. And things happen. Life happens. Tragedy happens. Step back and if you can't help, just stop making it harder.
3/3 I'm a 51 yo divorced victim of a JCL who divorced to escape financial abuse. My punishment is I pay a joint marital loan, alone. Every month. And until @SecCardona enacts the Law 117-200.
So please. Be kind. There's so much more to these stories than you know.
@SC_DoUsPart
@SecCardona@POTUS Here's some low hanging fruit - implement the JCLSA. Law of the land since October. @Navient refuses to follow @usdoegov guidance and will not place FFEL Joint Spousal Consolidated Loans in Administrative Forbearance pending implementation. @SC_DoUsPart
Day 253 since President signed PL117-200 into law, since Dept of Ed decided they could do what they want & not execute the law, since GOP has tried 2 reverse the law & make Student Loans profitable for the Fed again. Its our RIGHT! Separate these loans! @usedgov@SC_DoUsPart
