Military and Veteran Caregiver Student Loan Relief Act of 2023
This bill amends the Higher Education Act to expand eligibility for student loan repayment plans. It adds "service as a primary family caregiver of a veteran" to the list of qualifying public service roles under the program. Specifically, it allows family caregivers participating in the VA's comprehensive caregiver assistance program (under 38 U.S.C. § 1720G) to count their caregiving work toward student loan forgiveness. This directly affects military and veteran family caregivers who provide care through the VA's established program.
