They contend the regulation is designed to disqualify organizations that serve specific groups of the population that are frequently at odds with the Trump administration.\nThe challenged regulation, which was revealed last Thursday, revises PSLF eligibility to exclude government or nonprofit employers deemed to have a \"substantial illegal purpose,\" citing examples such as supporting terrorism and aiding child trafficking. The department framed the change as a guardrail to prevent taxpayer subsidies from flowing to unlawful activity.\nSee Also: Trump Has ‘Backed Down’ On China Tariffs, Says Economist Paul Krugman: ‘The Future Now Belongs To China’\nOne suit, led by the National Council of Nonprofits and joined by Democrat-led cities, labor unions and charities, argues the regulation conflicts with the Higher Education Act, which makes government and 501(c)(3) employers PSLF-eligible. It is worth noting that 501(c)(3) nonprofits are business entities recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as being exempt from federal income tax because it is organized and operated exclusively for specific public-benefit purposes.\nA second complaint from a 22-state coalition of Blue states, including Massachusetts and New York, raises similar claims. Both cases were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and ask a judge to block enforcement.\nPlaintiffs say the rule gives administrations wide legal leeway to deem disfavored missions \"illegal,\" chilling advocacy and destabilizing public-service recruitment.\nEducation Undersecretary Nicholas Kent, in a statement shared with Politico, rejected that characterization, saying the department will enforce the regulation \"neutrally,\" regardless of an employer's mission or clientele. He called the policy a \"commonsense reform\" to ensure PSLF does not subsidize criminal conduct.\nRead Next: \nPhoto courtesy: Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.12","shortVersion":"4.35.12","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2580781867","isCrawlerRequest":true}
