Conviction on Campus Blocks Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness.

This bill introduces a new restriction for individuals seeking the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. If a citizen is convicted of any unlawful activity (including physical violence or other legal violations) committed on a college campus after October 7, 2023, they become ineligible for PSLF. This means public sector workers who commit such an offense will be required to repay the full amount of their student loans.
Key points
Individuals convicted of crimes committed on college campuses after October 7, 2023, lose eligibility for federal student loan forgiveness.
This specifically targets the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, typically used by public sector employees like teachers or nurses.
"Unlawful activity" includes acts of physical violence and any other violation of State or Federal law.
