Teachers' Union Sues U.S. Department of Education Over Public Service Loan Forgiveness Delays

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and nine student loan borrowers have filed a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education and Secretary Linda McMahon, alleging delays and mismanagement in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program. The lawsuit claims the department is delaying "buyback" determinations, failing to credit public service time, and clawing back previously credited months, affecting tens of thousands of public servants.
