  1. Older #StudentLoan borrowers are at risk of losing a chunk of their #SocialSecurity. There's a new bill to prevent that.

    Story by Ayelet Sheffey, August 17, 2026

    "Student-loan borrowers could lose their Social Security checks if they fall behind on their loan payments. Democratic lawmakers want to put an end to that practice.

    "On Monday, Sens. #BernieSanders, #ElizabethWarren, and #EdMarkey introduced a bill to prevent older student-loan borrowers and borrowers with disabilities from facing Social Security garnishment if they default on their payments.

    "A fact sheet of the legislation reviewed by Business Insider said that the bill would prohibit the Treasury from seizing Social Security payments, including Social Security Disability Insurance, and protect those borrowers from 'unnecessary forced collections.'

    "Sanders said in a statement that 'in the richest country in the history of the world, no senior should have their Social Security payments taken away from them to pay back student debt.'

    " 'This is especially true when seniors throughout the country already cannot afford the skyrocketing price of healthcare, prescription drugs, groceries and housing,' Sanders said. "Congress must pass this legislation.'

    "The legislation comes as student-loan defaults are at a record high. Over 9 million borrowers were in default as of March, according to the latest Education Department data, which happens when a borrower has missed payments for 270 days.

    "The New York Federal Reserve's latest household debt report showed that student-loan delinquencies stood at 10.6% in the second quarter of 2026 — up from 10.3% in the first quarter. Pre-pandemic delinquency rates were around 11%, and researchers said the latest data showed that delinquency is stabilizing. Yet researchers said that number could rise again due to the elimination of the Biden-era SAVE repayment plan, which gave borrowers affordable payments and a shorter timeline to debt relief."

  6. #StudentLoan is a euphemism for Student Burden.

    To push many not suited into University and straddle them in debt at the same time is barbaric. Fattening the debt with extreme interest just sticks the knife in deeper.

    Look at how education operates to great effect in #Finland.

  10. #NinthCircuit Orders #Drumpf era #Edu Dept Run By #WWF Wrestling Baron's Wife To Wipe Out Student Loan Debt For 500,000 Borrowers.

    #Federal Appeals court decision halts gov bid to delay discharge of federal student loan #debts for over 500,000 Americans.

    Ninth Circuit ruled govt Edu dept must proceed with the *Sweet v. McMahon* relief settlement, impacting "post-class applicants" who sought Borrower Defense relief. Linda McMahon 's fiefdom delayed the mandated relief and argued that #studentloan borrowers shouldn't qualify.
