Allows Taxpayer Dollars for Illegal Activities
Official: A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program".
This resolution nullifies a rule that prevents federal loan forgiveness for employees of organizations involved in illegal activities.
1. This resolution removes protections that prevent loan forgiveness for employees of organizations involved in illegal activities. 2. It allows borrowers to receive Public Service Loan Forgiveness benefits even if their employers engage in substantial illegal actions. 3. The resolution eliminates the accountability measures that ensure taxpayer money is not misused in the loan forgiveness program. 4. By disapproving this rule, Congress opens the door for organizations with illegal purposes to benefit from taxpayer-funded loan forgiveness.
This resolution affects borrowers working for organizations that may engage in illegal activities, as well as taxpayers funding the loan program.
