During Nov. 7's discussion, the Education Department (ED) asked negotiators for feedback on how they can better ensure borrowers who need relief, receive it. 

 

Among the different ideas for how to make relief automatic, negotiators suggested ED immediately discharge loans for:

 

Borrowers with bankruptcy forbearance on file
Borrowers in default
Borrowers who received Pell grants
Borrowers eligible for subsidized insurance under the Affordable Care Act
Borrowers who receive SNAP benefits (food stamps)
Borrowers who have a disability
Borrowers who are in prison
Borrowers who have experienced homelessness 
Seniors

 

The final two Neg Reg sessions are December 11 and 12. Recordings of the meetings, transcripts and materials are available on ED's website.
