today calling for more streamlined discharges of federal student loans for disabled veterans who cannot maintain employment to repay their debts. The President noted in the order,"
There is a pressing need to quickly and effectively resolve this problem [of disabled veterans carrying student loan debt]. Therefore, my Administration will take prompt action to ensure that all totally and permanently disabled veterans are able to obtain, with minimal burden, the Federal student loan debt discharges to which they are legally entitled."
and administration officials are mischaracterizing the order as a new student loan forgiveness program for disabled veterans. It is not., veterans who are totally and permanently disabled due to a service-related condition are eligible to have their federal student loan debt completely cancelled, tax-free. Today's executive order does not create a new student loan forgiveness program; rather, it directs the U.S. Dept. of Education and U.S. Dept.
The effort to improve the TPD discharge process for disabled veterans is laudable and important. The V.A. already has information on veterans who have been certified as completely disabled, and there is no reason that the agency cannot share this information with the Dept. of Education.
Waiting to see how the Trump haters say Obama or the D’s are responsible...
Obama did this already smh stop reporting his lies
That I can understand, but forgiving student loans for millions of people who just don't want to pay them is wrong

Trump signs order to eliminate student loan debt for disabled vetsDuring a speech to veterans in Kentucky, the president said the move would eliminate '$30,000 in debt owed by more than 25,000 eligible veterans' Usually vets dont have student loan debt because of the GI Bill. Also disabled people's student loan debt is eliminated already. 2 of my non vet friends were able to get their debt forgiven using this existing rule. So why was this necessary? Thank you for doing so much for us Vets! The programs have saved lives. HOw about all the VETS!!
