HR 1001 United States House · 118th Congress

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.
