Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Summary
The bill changes federal student loan rules so that a parent who took out a loan for a child can have that debt discharged if the child becomes permanently and totally disabled, or is unable to work due to a long‑term medical condition. It applies to any parent loan, regardless of when the loan was taken or when the disability began. The goal is to protect families from lifelong debt when a student can no longer benefit from the education.
