Nitrousoxide posted:Florida Coastal School of Law. It was like a decade ago, so I don't really remember how much the scholarship was. I do think it amounted to about 25-33% of each semester's cost. Well, the good news is that Biden says he will restart the Obama program of voiding student loans issued to pay for for-profit schools that close or fail to show employment for graduates. quote:Dean of struggling Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville abruptly resigns Cross your fingers that they follow the path of their other three schools. Other than that, you can get on the 5% of discretionary income IBR plan, wait 5-10 years for it to be forgiven, and if you have been working at a non-profit or public service job for the past 5 years, then you can get an instant $50k credit, $10k more in credit per year you keep working there, and a blanket $10k general credit. Obviously, not as good as instant loan forgiveness that people from public schools will get. But, still should be a massive improvement. Best case scenario for you would be if Biden wins and Florida Coastal School of Law shuts down in 2021.

The CARES act does prevent anyone from being evicted from a rental unit that is financed by a federally backed mortgage or is participating in a Low-Income Housing tax credit program. That's estimated to be about 28% of rental units in the U.S.

It forgives all remaining loan balance once the loan is 20 years old. Everyone with private school loans gets a one-time flat $10k blanket credit The public service loan forgiveness works like this: - You get up to $50k in credit ($10k per year for up to 5 years) for working in a qualified job at any point before the new program kicks in. You don't have to currently be working at one. - You get another $10k per year for working in a qualifying job. Those don't have to be consecutive years working there. You can work for one year and get the 10k. The 50% forgiveness for 5 years and 100% forgiveness for 10 years require working at a public sector/public service/non-profit job.

In any modern society where the people were somewhat cared for, no, it'd be like a delay and then you just start paying your regular amount when things return to normalish. But since this is the US, Hell yes, you'll pay your standard payment with a 50% increase to make up for the time you missed, peon. Now start yanking those boot straps If you’re no expert and you don’t know, don’t post answers like this.

It's not clear if the PSFL count is retroactive in all cases. But, it does include the "What You Can Do For Your Country Act" which includes these changes that seem to imply that you can retroactively qualify for forgiveness without restarting the PSLF count in some situations. The up to $50k credit is retroactive. quote:The bill would allow payments made under any repayment plan -- not just income-driven plans -- to qualify for PSLF. Changing the tax code so that forgiveness does not count as income is also huge for people getting forgiveness on large loans.

The president: Buy your own supplies, we're not your purchasing agency. Also the president: When you buy your own supplies, we'll steal them and gift you a fraction like it was our idea. quote:[A] shipment of 500 ventilators to the state of Colorado was intercepted and rerouted by the federal government. Gov. Jared Polis (D) sent a letter pleading for the return of the equipment. Then yesterday President Trump went on Twitter to announce that he was awarding 100 ventilators to Colorado at the behest of Republican Senator Cory Gardner, one of the most endangered Republicans on the ballot this year.

It is the equivalent of the store being out of stock, rather than seizing your property. - States don't want to sue because it would take too long to sort out and it might result in some ventilators being stuck in limbo while it gets resolved.

I'm not sure if this counts as Trump learning from his mistake or repeating his mistake over and over again. He's releasing a new healthcare plan for his 2020 campaign. Except that it isn't a plan. It's a set of outlines. So, now he is going to get pressure to release a specific plan and also has some specific details out that can be criticized. quote:It is necessary to transform the individual marketplace’s current regulatory structure, unwind the ACA’s Washington-centric approach, and largely return regulatory authority to the individual states. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/his-achilles-heel-coronavirus-crisis-highlights-trump-s-lack-health-n1176496 https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/03/trump-obamacare-coronavirus-164285 https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertlaszewski2/2020/01/05/the-trump-and-republican-health-care-plan/

The company I work for sells an expensive service to businesses, so our salespeople did the "fancy wine, dine, and entertain" thing for clients quite a bit pre-corona. The 2017 Trump tax cuts made a lot of those expenses - which were previously considered a non-taxable business expense - hit the company's taxes starting in 2018. The company didn't change anything, because wining and dining clients is effective enough that losing a small subsidy didn't mean poo poo. Getting it back wouldn't mean poo poo, either.

Framboise posted:So wait, I'm on the PSLF plan. Having my payments waived completely fucks up my 120 consecutive payments, doesn't it? I've been doing this for 4 years now, I don't wanna break the chain. A few pages back, but didn't want this to get lost. The CARES act waived payments still count towards PSLF. That was explicitly written into the law. The "payments" of $0 still count, just as if your income was low enough that your IBR "payment" was $0. Essentially all us PSLF peeps are getting 6 "free" months. As long as can keep our jobs, anyway  EDIT- *Someone else mentioned they do not have to be consecutive, and that is also correct.

I'm not going to argue for anything concerning the presidential race. It's totally understandable if people are reluctant to vote for Biden since--let's be honest here-- he very much seems like it's going to be an even shittier candidate than Hillary along with both all the skeletons he has in his over-stuffed closet and how he's been shown to be in the wrong side of history for his entire political career. However, a buncha goons in D&D and specifically in this thread (or what used to be the D&D Trump thread, at least) seem to have a good head on their shoulders and realized that down-ballot elections matter a great deal, especially while dealing with an erratic yet malicious poo poo-stirrer like the swiss-cheese-brained grifter fuckbag you have for a POTUS. I remember Friendbot, Your Boy Fancy, Koalas March among others (I'm probably forgetting at least a couple of other goons rn, including one that even made it to the primaries; sorry  ) going to the mat on canvassing and making poo poo happen at the local/state level and I have to ask: Is there any chance for Kentucky to boot that loving wraith Mitch McConnell off his senate seat come November?

The results if Schumer is Majority Leader instead of McConnell will be enormous - the HBCU et al provision almost certainly wouldn't make it through a Republican controlled Senate. Some of it can be done by the secretary of education alone, but yes parts will need to go through the Senate.
