Student Loan Disability Discharges - Episode 287

from Crushing Debt · host Shawn M Yesner

Do you have a student loan owned by the Department of Education (rather than a private student loan) AND a finding of disability by the Social Security Administration? There's been a change in the law to link those two things to provide a disability discharge of your student loan! On this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, we are happy to have returning guest Christie Arkovich to talk about discharging student loans for people with disabilities. Under the new law, a finding of total permanent disability (TPD) by the Social Security Administration or the Department of Education can lead to a discharge of your student loan debt. Christie has been helping people eliminate or negotiate student loans for years and has become one of the top attorneys in this area. You can hear Christie on previous Crushing Debt episodes: 50 - Student Loan Debt 93 - Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) 99 - Parents Plus Loans 106 - Stopping the Robocalls 234 - Discharging Student Loans in Bankruptcy You can find out more by contacting Christie at her email address - [email protected], or finding her YouTube Channel by searching "Christie Arkovich." Some other topics we discuss: Tax impact of settling private student loans between now and 2025; Suspension of the 3-year monitoring requirement with a TPD application Extensions to Student Loan repayment under COVID Please remember to visit or refer an attorney or title company to our sponsor, Sam Cohen at Attorneys First Insurance at Sam@AttorneysFirst or www.AttorneysFirst.com.
