The Department of Education is asking for public comments on changes to an information collection process related to Borrower Defense to Loan Repayment forms. This request is in response to a legal decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals, which temporarily stopped new rules from taking effect. The revised forms aim to meet existing legal requirements while ensuring that borrowers have a clear way to provide the necessary information for their claims. The public can comment on whether these collections are necessary and how to improve them before March 17, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education wants people to give their thoughts on some forms that students use if they feel they shouldn't have to pay back their school loans because something went wrong. They have to update these forms because a court said the new rules couldn't start yet.
