Public Service Loan Forgiveness helps librarians, nurses, and caregivers pay off their federal student loans.
The Trump administration tried to restrict loan forgiveness for employees of certain government and nonprofit organizations. A federal court struck down the rule in June, and the administration has now dropped its appeal.
