A-G Kaul Joins Push to Forgive Student Loans of Veterans With Disabilities

Wisconsin’s Josh Kaul and 51 attorneys general are calling on the U-S Department of Education to automatically forgive student loans of veterans who suffered a permanent disability from their military service.  Kaul said, “discharging the student loans of veterans who are permanently disabled is the right thing to do — and it’s what the law requires.”  More than 42-thousand veterans are eligible for student loan relief due to a service-related total and permanent disability.  The A-G’s note that fewer than nine-thousand had applied to have their loans discharged and 25-thousand had student loans in default in 2018.  The bi-partisan coalition asks the Department of Ed to “take action to better protect those who once protected the nation. Our veterans deserve nothing less.”
