最新报道:The U.S. Department of Education plans to cut 10% of its workforce, raising concerns about delays in student loan servicing. Officials warn the layoffs, set to begin in September, could slow processing for income-driven repayment plans and forgiveness applications. Over 40 million borrowers may face longer wait times as remaining staff handle increased workloads. Advocacy groups urge the administration to prioritize borrower support amid the restructuring. The department cites budget constraints but pledges to minimize disruptions to essential services.
