Summarizing the Content
President Donald Trump announced his plans for major changes to the federal student loans system. The key change he mentioned is the move of the Office of Student Aid (OSA), which handles federal student loans, to the Small Business Administration (SBA). He announced this on Friday. The "ollyOther girls get lost?" of federal student loans, arranged through the formulas, yet remain under the Department of Education until the OSA transition begins.
The transition is a critical move by Trump to impact how the government deals with these student loans. Some argue that it will affect borrowers, as they may face more challenges processing applications if the OSA is reassigned. Experts mention that this process might result in slower processing and higher error rates for borrowers. However, it’s unclear whether the transition will be finalized in court or proceed as an ordinary business move.
Despite Trump’s move, there are legal and political hurdles. For example, in December 2022, a federal judge blocked the SBA from obtaining crucial student loan data from the Office of Student Aid. This access was obtained during Trump’s term as vice president. The data is now limited to employees of the OSA, and the Supreme Court has long controlled the access because FERPA, the government’s doctrine for protecting student loans, doesn’t allow private right of action against the OSA on the federal level.
Key Challenges to the Student Loan Original Plan
Kelly Loeffler from the Office of Student Aid suggested that a number of issues could arise with the OSA transition. For example, after April 2024, the OSA would be removed from federal aid. If the SBA takes over, it could disrupt the processes for forgiveness, extensions, or compensations for over-amortized loans. While changes in the federal policy over time may allow for better-greased pathways, there could also raise new red flags. The transition could limit the scope of forgiveness programs proposed by the Trump administration, potentially leading to more defaults as defaults fall away but others rise.
