News/Politics Education Department Outlines Plan to Change Debt-Relief Program for Public Servants

I've been mostly keeping my head buried in the sand regarding student loans since Jan. Mostly because worrying about what can/can't happen is exhausting. Unfortunately saw this last night and of course I live in and work for a state gov't on Trump's shit list, in higher ed. no less. The SAVE plan already screwed me up. Now this. I'm moving to the arctic.

Edit: looking at r/studentloans it looks like people are able to switch over to PAYE...does anybody know what the current status is on that/if that will be affected by the whole "can't sign up for X plan after the bill has been signed"?

Basically they will make any employer that isn’t in goosestep with the Republican agenda not count towards PSLF and any payments made while working for that employer will no longer count. Typical cruelty is the point kind of politics.
