Provides temporary student loan relief for federal employees and qualifying contractors when their agency suffers a funding lapse of 14 days or more. The Secretary of Education must suspend required federal student loan payments and interest during the suspension, treat suspended months as qualifying payments for loan‑forgiveness, report those months to consumer reporting agencies as if paid, and may refund payments already made for those periods; the rule is effective retroactively to September 30, 2025.
