    You know a lot. Do you happen to know how they selected who would be forgiven their student loans and who wouldn’t be forgiven?

    I’m a disabled military veteran and they are garnishing all of my disability pay for the next 2 years until my ex-husband’s GI Bill is paid off.

    I am severely ill but since they’re garnishing all of my benefits, I still have to work to survive, I am stumbling through work and I am extremely sick today and had to take the day off,

    again I ask, how does the government decide whose student loan debts are being forgiven, and whose aren’t?

      Depends on if you apply for one of the many programs available. If you are 100% disabled per the VA you would qualify for the Total and Permanent Disability Discharge (TPD). Call Nelnet’s TPD department ASAP. Here is their site: https://www.disabilitydischarge.com/

      Feel free to DM me if you want to know more, this is literally my day job.

        I am only 70% rating. And since July 2023 I’ve been trying to get into the VRE program but they are not very responsive. Many people apply, few are chosen.
