"We applaud the long overdue action taken today by the administration
to cancel the federal student loan debt owed by totally and permanently
disabled veterans.
This announcement means that nearly 40,000 disabled
veterans—including 25,000 already in default on their loans—will get the
benefits that were promised. This is welcome news for these American
heroes. Thanks go out to the members of Congress, Veterans Education
Success and other veterans groups, and the broad bipartisan coalition
that have pressed this issue.
While we commend the administration, we will continue to call on it
to take action to address the similarly egregious loan cancellation
problems in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness and TEACH Grant
programs."
