Impact Analysis

Life & Work

People with criminal records often face compounding financial barriers, including student loan defaults that occurred while incarcerated or during difficult reentry periods. This bill could indirectly benefit those who also carry defaulted student loans by giving them one fewer black mark on their financial history after consolidation.
