Legal Group Seeks Sanctions Against U.S. Education Department Over Student Loan Discharge Delays

A legal group representing student loan borrowers is requesting a federal court to sanction the U.S. Education Department and Secretary Linda McMahon for ongoing delays in discharging federal student loans under the *Sweet v. McMahon* class action settlement. The group alleges that hundreds of borrowers have not received relief despite deadlines passing, and courts have previously rejected administration attempts to extend the timeline. A public hearing is scheduled for November 5.
