Education Department Appeals Ruling Against Public Service Loan Forgiveness Rule

The U.S. Department of Education has appealed a court decision that previously invalidated the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Final Rule. This appeal challenges the June 30, 2026, ruling which vacated the rule concerning employer eligibility for the PSLF program. The outcome of this appeal will significantly impact the eligibility criteria for student loan forgiveness for public service workers.
