Provide Comments to the U.S. Department of Education Regarding Student Loan Limits and PSLF Eligibility

During this current administration, major changes to student loans and student loan debt relief are being pushed by the Department of Education. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) instructed the Department of Education to rein in student loan debt by ending the popular Grad PLUS loan program as well as severely restricting access to student loans by limiting loans based on whether the degree programs are classified as professional versus graduate. 

The Department of Education released its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding student loan limits on January 30, 2026.

The rule categorizes social work as a graduate program, rather than a professional program. The effect is that social work students will have lower federal student loan borrowing limits than programs that are deemed professional.

Additionally, the rule provides for a new Tiered Standard Repayment Plan which is not eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. PSLF allows public servants, including social workers, to get their loans forgiven after making 120 payments on their student loans while working for an eligible employer such as a 501c3 or governmental entity.

For all social workers and aspiring social workers who care about the future of this profession, this is the moment to act.

NASW-SC Statement on Roe v. Wade 6/24/22.Today is a sad day for our country and state with the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. What was a fundamental right for almost 50 years is now gone. What was legal yesterday is now illegal. This ruling has taken away a person's right to choose. A person's right to choose reproductive health that is best for them, their body, their health, and their family. With this ruling it is one more step in the wrong direction. This ruling now leaves it up to each state to choose their own course of action related to abortion. What does this mean for SC? Our current Governor McMaster has already expressed a desire to promote more aggressive anti-abortion bills for SC. This means he can call the Legislators back at any time this year to vote on a more aggressive anti-abortion bill. This is unacceptable!!! As social workers, NOW is the time to let your voices be heard. Please contact your state and federal legislators and tell them WE STAND FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS!!
