Attestation Process is Game Changer for Discharging Federal Student Loans
Christi Arkovich, Arkovich Law Bob Branson, Branson Law Tammy Branson, Branson Law
This CLE program explores the Department of Justice and Department of Education’s 2022 guidance that loosened the three-prong test for discharging student loans in bankruptcy through the new attestation process. Attendees will learn about how to analyze loan types and borrower eligibility, how to navigate the detailed attestation form, and borrowers who have successfully used the process. The program also covers how to file and handle these uniquely streamlined adversary proceedings—often resolved without litigation—key differences between bankruptcy schedule calculations and the attestation form, drafting consent final judgments, and practical considerations on fees, billing, and getting paid.
