This week on "Off The Cuff," Maria is joined by Jill, Megan, and Nalia to discuss several issues impacting the world of higher education. First, Megan debriefs listeners on this week’s news that the Department of Education (ED) will resume the collections process for defaulted federal student loans. Then, Jill discusses the upcoming negotiated rulemaking (NegReg) public hearing on Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and other topics. Megan also provides a brief update on two lawsuits against ED, including one on the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) repayment plan, and another from the American Federation of Teachers. From there, Megan highlights two new NASFAA FAQs for members to help navigate the resulting questions and concerns from President Donald Trump’s executive order to dissolve ED. Lastly, Nalia runs through the budget appropriations process and what members can expect to see in the next few weeks.
