Appearing in CNBC on June 17, 2025, Annie Nova interviews Abby Shafroth, managing director of advocacy and director of the National Consumer Law Center’s Student Loan Borrower Assistance Project, for coverage of how GOP lawmakers are moving in their “big, beautiful bill” to nix payment pauses for student loan borrowers who’ve lost their job or experienced other financial hardship.
“I’m concerned this is going to lead more people to default on their student loans when they encounter a job loss, surprise medical expense, or other economic hardship.”
