The Trump administration's Department of Education is drafting plans to significantly reduce the student loan forgiveness program for public servants, specifically targeting nonprofits providing services to LGBTQ+ individuals. An executive order was signed to dismantle access to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. The proposed changes are expected to particularly affect LGBTQ+ employees, who might be disqualified from loan forgiveness if they work for organizations related to gender-affirming care. The PSLF program was established to support careers in public service, initially created to encourage student engagement in helping professions.
The proposed restrictions on student loans will particularly affect the nearly one-quarter of LGBTQ adults employed in the public or nonprofit sectors, which qualify for the Public Student Loan Forgiveness program.
This could potentially disqualify anyone working for an organization involved in gender-affirming care, or possibly those serving transgender individuals more broadly, from the PSLF program.
