Borrowers denied student loan relief will get a second look

A settlement announced Wednesday aims to resolve a 2019 suit accusing the Department of Education under Secretary Betsy DeVos of mismanaging its Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
Thousands of public servants who were rejected from a student loan forgiveness program will get their cases reviewed by the Education Department as part of a settlement in a lawsuit brought by one of the nation's largest teachers unions.
The settlement announced Wednesday aims to resolve a 2019 suit accusing the department of mismanaging its Public Service Loan Forgiveness program — a troubled initiative that the agency is separately working to fix through an overhaul announced last week.
The suit was brought by the American Federation of Teachers on behalf of eight members who said they were wrongly denied debt cancellation through the program.
