American Federation of Teachers Sues Education Department Over Public Service Loan Forgiveness Mismanagement

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) has filed a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Education Department, alleging mismanagement of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, specifically concerning the "buyback" provision. The lawsuit claims the Trump administration has failed to acknowledge borrowers' retroactive payments, leaving eligible public servants in limbo. Education Department officials attribute delays to "coding errors" from the previous administration.
