Description
Rep. Scott Peters, CA-50, on Monday announced legislation that would automatically forgive student loans for military service members.
The current process for service members and veterans is "complicated and burdensome," a press release from Peters noted. The new legislation would give service members automatic access to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which forgives student loans for people who work full-time for nonprofit organizations or federal, state, local or tribal governments.
"It should not be that hard," Peters said at a Monday morning press briefing.
