Ongoing lawsuits are pushing to block some of President Donald Trump's student-loan changes.

Ongoing lawsuits blocked key provisions from taking effect, including a narrowed definition of professional degree. Public Service Loan Forgiveness and the SAVE plan are also the subject of litigation. Key provisions of President Donald Trump's sweeping student-loan changes have landed in court. While the administration's new repayment plans and borrowing caps took effect July 1, other elements did not, including a narrower definition of a "professional" degree and limits to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. That's because for months, borrowers and advocacy groups have been fighting those changes in court. They argued that some of the administration's student-loan plans are unlawful and are asking courts to pause implementation before blocking the provisions altogether.
