Domenic and Ed’s Law

This bill would change the Higher Education Act so that a parent's federal student loan taken out for a child would be discharged if the student becomes permanently and totally disabled. It would also cover a student who cannot work because of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that is expected to result in death, or that has lasted or is expected to last at least 60 months in a row. Current law already discharges these parent loans if the student dies. The change would apply to any outstanding parent loan, no matter when it was taken out or when the disability began.
