After President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Education (ED) to revise Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility on Friday, ED posted on Monday that it is reviewing the executive order. “The PSLF Program is not changing today, and borrowers do not need to take any action,” ED wrote on X and LinkedIn. The executive order specifically directs ED and the Treasury Department to propose regulatory changes to ensure that the definition of “public service” excludes organizations engaged in what the administration considers to be a “substantial illegal purpose.” Stay tuned to Today’s News for more updates on this executive order.
