## Resource

A federal judge has blocked new rules that would have denied student loan forgiveness to public service workers based on their employer’s policies — a move seen as a major victory by cities, unions, and nonprofits who sued to protect the program’s original intent. The ruling preserves the current structure of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, ensuring qualifying workers can continue pursuing debt relief as Congress intended, while the legal battle over these changes continues.
