The U.S. Department of Education will end taxpayer subsidization of illegal aliens in career, technical, and adult education programs. In an interpretive rule issued today, the Department rescinded a Dear Colleague letter from the Clinton Administration that enabled non-qualified illegal aliens to access federal public benefits in contravention of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). The interpretive rule also ensures that postsecondary education programs authorized under the Higher Education Act (HEA), such as Pell Grants and student loans, continue to be inaccessible to illegal immigrants.

Loans in SAVE Plan Will Begin Accruing Interest on August 1st, Borrowers in SAVE Urged to Act
The U.S. Department of Education will take an additional step to bring fiscal responsibility to the federal student loan portfolio by restarting interest accrual for borrowers with loans in the illegal Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan on August 1, 2025. The Department will take this action to comply with a federal court injunction that has blocked implementation of the SAVE Plan, including the Department’s action to put SAVE borrowers in a zero percent interest rate status. The Department had the authority under the SAVE plan to prevent borrowers from going into negative amortization, which is the authority the Department relied on to put borrowers in zero percent interest rate status. Outside of that regulatory provision in SAVE (which is enjoined), the Department lacks the authority to put borrowers into a zero percent interest rate status.

Dependable and affordable child care is a big issue for military families, and it's a priority for the Defense Department, which has a number of programs underway to expand the available options.
While the department runs the largest employer-sponsored child care program in the United States, military families and DOD civilians face challenges finding quality care — especially for children under 5. It's a problem shared with families nationwide, said Chad E. Sheldon, DOD associate director for child and youth programs policy.
