Trump's DOE will make LGBTQ+ nonprofit workers ineligible for student loan forgiveness

The federal student loan game just got trickier for those aiming for PSLF. The new “weighted average” rule for consolidation might reduce your qualifying payment count—especially if your largest loan hasn't made progress. Think twice before combining loans and make sure you do the math.

How the PSLF Weighted Average Affects Loan Consolidation

Consolidating for PSLF no longer resets your count but the weighted average rule could lower it. Here’s what borrowers should know.

Heads up, borrowers working in public service: the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) launching in 2026 will be the main option for PSLF. Existing IDR plans are disappearing for new borrowers—and Parent PLUS loans issued after 2026 won’t qualify for forgiveness. Keep an eye on that timeline.

Republican lawmakers have proposed cutting PSLF credit for medical and dental residents. This would mean 3–7 extra years of payments for future doctors working in nonprofit hospitals. Many healthcare groups say this could lead to more staffing shortages in underserved areas. Medical education just got more expensive — and uncertain.

Just because your student loans are forgiven doesn’t mean you’re off the hook — at least not in every state.

📝 Federal law excludes forgiven student loan debt from income through 2025, but 21 states may still treat it as taxable. From PSLF to IDR plans, the rules vary.

👉 Be aware of your state’s stance, especially if you recently had debt discharged.
