Hey All,
Came across this Wall Street Journal article today. Halfway down I see this:
"Among the changes proposed Tuesday, individual borrowers would face new limits on how much debt that could have forgiven. The amount forgiven for public-sector workers would be capped at $57,500. Borrowers with debt loads above $57,500 would make payments for 25 years. And payments for married borrowers filing separately would be calculated on their combined household adjusted gross income."
Shoutout to gunnershow with a reddit post also providing some details and another link.
Gunner makes a good point that while this budget won't pass--some of this will still trickle through by other means.
Any experts can chime in?
Many of us have been expecting this change--if it's already being discussed now--I see the chances very slim of it being around in the future.
Edit: Here is the department of educations coverage direct link. As gunnershow mentioned--I am not seeing any mention of grandfathering in current individuals. I just briefly skimmed it though.
