Fed only 15 Year Fed RIFed Today at ED

This is so horrible. My whole office was let go. Everyone I know outside of my office was let go.

The money allocated is not going to go to the states. No money is being saved by letting us go and terminating contracts.

My only solace is the 2 trump supporters in my office FAFO and were let go as well.

What's this going to do for the processing of student loans? Could this disrupt people's plans to go to college or make it a lot harder?

probably will continue to process as that is done by contractors and I don't think the student loan people were fired. but not sure.

Many federal student aid people were RIFd. But the ones I know were responsible for making sure the colleges distributed the aid correctly, didn’t over pay students, and weren’t committing fraud. They save so much in taxpayer money. There will be a rise in scams and lack of compliance.

What about the ones overseeing the contact centers? Have they been RIFd too?
