WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed an executive order on March 7 that will modify the public service loan forgiveness program to nullify eligibility for applicants who work for nonprofit organizations that are deemed to be engaging in improper or illegal activities. https://workmancolon.com/biqh4pcn3c?key=abfa3ad2fb99802ce686af31138d95d8

The order will direct the Departments of Education and Treasury to begin adjusting the student loan forgiveness program to disqualify nonprofits participating in a host of activities, including child abuse, discrimination, illegal immigration, and public disruptions, according to a White House official.

The move is needed “to ensure that people who are engaged in these types of activities can’t benefit from a program that isn’t really meant to support those types of things,” Will Scharf, White House staff secretary, said during a meeting with Trump in the Oval Office on March 7.
