450,000 student loan borrowers may get debt forgiven in $23B settlement
A $23 billion class-action settlement with the Department of Education may forgive debt for 450,000 student loan borrowers. The lawsuit, led by an advocacy group in 2019, alleged that schools misled students with false promises about education outcomes. The Trump administration delayed the settlement, but a federal appeals court recently denied its request to postpone borrower applications.
