10'000 Hours | Digitalvision | Getty ImagesCurrent borrowers should remain entitled to reliefWhile the program remains in effect, borrowers are entitled to the relief, said Betsy Mayotte, president of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors, a nonprofit.
"PSLF is written into federal law, by a Republican president, and it would take an act of Congress to eliminate it."
That means current borrowers would still be able to work toward loan forgiveness under the program.
"So, worst-case scenario, it would be for loans made on or after the date of such a law enactment," Mayotte said.
"Most likely the change would apply only to new borrowers," Kantrowitz said.
