Federal judge blocks changes to Public Service Loan Forgiveness program

A federal judge has blocked the Federal administration from enforcing changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program that would have allowed the U.S. Department of Education to exclude certain government and nonprofit employers based on their activities or policies, according to attorneys representing the plaintiffs. 

The ruling came in National Council of Nonprofits et al. v. McMahon, a lawsuit filed by a coalition of cities, labor unions, and nonprofit organizations challenging the policy, according to the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office.
