S 4333 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Domenic and Ed’s Law

S 4333, "Domenic and Ed's Law," updates the Higher Education Act to expand loan forgiveness for parent borrowers. It adds two specific situations where parent borrowers can have their federal student loans forgiven: if the student borrower becomes permanently disabled (meeting strict medical criteria for at least 60 months) or dies. This applies to all outstanding parent loans, regardless of when the loan was taken out or when the disability or death occurred. The bill directly affects parents who borrowed for their children's education, making forgiveness easier under these defined circumstances. It does not create new programs but adjusts existing rules for loan discharge.
