As the New Mexico Public Education Section (NMPED) revamps the state’s K-12 social scientific tests specifications, it is crucial we assure all college students are presented with the capabilities essential for navigating everyday living following they graduate. One particular crucial ingredient need to be personal finance education and learning.
We commend the PED for its operate to convey the state’s social scientific tests standards into the 21st century. However, we imagine the department’s proposal would be significantly strengthened by the inclusion of particular finance specifications.
Our neighboring states, amongst them Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Utah, have adopted standards to make sure their college students find out the monetary capabilities needed for own and expert achievement. In reality, New Mexico is at this time one particular of only 5 states that has not integrated own finance into our K-12 training expectations.
Private finance benchmarks will make positive New Mexico’s pupils understand how to make a price range, open an account at a lender or credit score union, conserve and devote for their futures, and avoid significant-value financial debt.
Through the most recent legislative session, Dixon co-sponsored and Figueroa strongly supported a legislative hard work led by Reps. Moe Maestas, D-Albuquerque, and Willie Madrid, D-Chaparral, to make particular finance a graduation prerequisite. The bill obtained potent bipartisan help, passing the Dwelling unanimously right before running out of time in the Senate.
That energy, and introducing particular finance to the training requirements, builds on Maestas’ effective 2007 reform that necessary fiscal literacy to be presented as an elective in New Mexico’s large faculties. Sad to say, only about 11{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} of college students at present total that program.
Adopting robust individual finance benchmarks lays the basis for guaranteeing that all students of all backgrounds are receiving equitable instruction, and are offered the capabilities required for economic planning and conclusion-building when they enter the workforce or publish-secondary establishments.
In Oct 2018, scientists at the College of New Mexico introduced a report displaying that two of each individual a few non-public-sector employees in New Mexico have no money saved for retirement. Approximately 80{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} have a lot less than $10,000 saved. This continues to weigh greatly on the wallets of many New Mexicans. Need to there be yet another pandemic, or key recession, our state will be improved off if we have prioritized training our state’s learners about cost savings, investing, fees of borrowing and how credit score functions.
Addressing personal finance will make the college curriculum more suitable and assure that college students who do not understand how to regulate their own funds at property are not left driving. This content also will help us combat cycles of generational poverty, which has plagued our state for decades. The capabilities developed by college students will be shared with their family members users, who could also obtain from this info.
Personalized finance education and learning also supports the conclusions from the Martinez/Yazzie lawsuit by supplying learners – in particular reduced-profits, Indigenous American, English language learner, and those people with disabilities – the skills and understanding required to be college or university- and vocation-all set. The ruling discovered the state failed to satisfy this obligation and we will have to ensure we do our component in supplying learners a ample instruction.
We hope PED will undertake strong own finance criteria within the present revision to the social studies standards. We owe it to NM’s potential generations.

As the senior Republican on the Household Approaches and Suggests Committee, Devin Nunes was future in line to turn out to be its chairman should the Republicans acquire again the Dwelling in 2022. Which is to say that Nunes would have ascended to what is widely regarded to be the most potent chairmanship in the Home of Associates.
And all he had to do was continue to be in Congress.
But Nunes resolved to discard the opportunity. In its place, he declared that he had joined Donald Trump’s social media undertaking, Truth of the matter Social, as its CEO. Nunes explained he was “humbled and honored” to have been entrusted with the task.
The final decision by Nunes states a ton about exactly where power in the conservative movement rests — or, at minimum, where Nunes thinks it rests.

The Biden administration has forgiven federal student debt through four major loan forgiveness programs, including PSLF and borrower defense. (iStock)
Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, hundreds of thousands of Americans have seen their student loan debt wiped out — some of these borrowers have even had their balances reduced to zero.
While a significant portion of the population has benefited from federal student loan forgiveness, about 43 million borrowers still owe a total of $1.73 trillion worth of college debt, according to the Education Data Initiative. That’s an average balance of $39,351 per borrower.
Keep reading to learn who is eligible to have their student loans discharged. If you’re one of the many borrowers who will still owe student debt, consider your repayment options like student loan refinancing. Visit Credible to compare student loan refinancing offers from multiple private lenders for free without impacting your credit score.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ISSUES ‘FINAL EXTENSION’ OF STUDENT LOAN DEFERMENT
Who has qualified for student loan forgiveness under Biden?
The Department of Education has extended more than $11.5 billion worth of student loan relief to about 580,000 borrowers under the Biden administration through the following student loan forgiveness programs:

CAN AN INCOME-CONTINGENT REPAYMENT (ICR) PLAN HELP GET MY STUDENT LOANS FORGIVEN?
Qualified borrowers no longer have to repay their federal student debt, including Direct Loan Program loans, Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans and Federal Perkins Loans. They also are not required to complete a TEACH Grant service obligation to have their loans forgiven.
Previously, borrowers had to apply for a TPD discharge, but the Education Department announced in August 2021 that these borrowers would automatically qualify for relief through an existing data match with the Social Security Administration (SSA). This resulted in about $5.8 billion in automatic student loan discharges during that time.
The Biden administration also reinstated $1.3 billion in TPD discharges in March 2021 for 41,000 borrowers who had not reported earnings information as part of this program.
If you have a total and permanent disability but haven’t qualified for a TPD discharge, you may be able to apply for the program on the Federal Student Aid (FSA) website by providing documentation from your physician. And if you still don’t qualify for a TPD discharge, visit Credible to compare alternative student loan repayment programs like refinancing. You can browse estimated student loan rates from private lenders in the table below.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR STUDENT LOAN SERVICER IS SHUTTING DOWN
Student loan borrowers who attended a school that closed while they were enrolled or shortly after they graduated may qualify to have their federal student loans forgiven under the closed school discharge program.
The Education Department announced in June 2021 that 18,000 borrowers who attended the now-defunct ITT Technical Institute would have $500 million worth of student loans discharged under this program. Then in August 2021, the department extended an additional $1.1 billion in relief to 115,000 borrowers who left ITT on or after March 21, 2008, without completing their degree.
The Biden administration made these changes after a review of problems leading up to ITT’s closure. The department found that the school had been misrepresenting the “true state of its financial health,” allegedly misleading students into taking private student loans that were portrayed as grants.
“For years, ITT hid its true financial state from borrowers while luring many of them into taking out private loans with misleading and unaffordable terms that may have caused borrowers to leave school,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement.
Private student loans aren’t grants, but they are a viable borrowing option for select student loan borrowers who have met the federal loan limits. You can learn more about these loans and compare estimated interest rates for free on Credible.
REFINANCING YOUR STUDENT LOANS CAN SAVE YOU $250+ ON YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENTS
The Education Department approved an additional 1,800 borrower defense claims in July 2021 for students of Westwood College, Marinello Schools of Beauty and the Court Reporting Institute. This resulted in approximately $55.6 million in relief, bringing the total borrower defense loan cancellations under the Biden administration to more than $1.5 billion for 92,000 borrowers.
The department is currently reviewing future rulemaking regarding borrower defense, holding public hearings to receive feedback in June 2021. You can apply for borrower defense on the FSA website.
12 LENDERS TO CONSIDER FOR STUDENT LOAN CONSOLIDATION
But the PSLF program came under fire for its abysmally low approval rate — 98{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} of PSLF applications were rejected since the beginning of the program. The Biden administration opened a public inquiry into PSLF, where borrowers called the program “broken” and “confusing.”
After conducting a review of PSLF, the Education Department announced a significant overhaul to the program in October 2021. This limited waiver makes it easier for public servants like nurses and special education teachers to qualify for the program, as long as they move their federal loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan by Oct. 31, 2022.
The policy resulted in 22,000 borrowers becoming immediately eligible for $1.74 billion worth of loan forgiveness. An additional 27,000 borrowers will need to verify their employment to qualify for up to $2.82 billion worth of student loan relief.
LONGER STUDENT LOAN FORBEARANCE IS NEEDED, 40{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} OF BORROWERS SAY IN SURVEY
The department estimates that more than 550,000 borrowers willbe, on average, two years closer to a loan discharge under PSLF thanks to these actions. In addition, borrowers who were previously denied PSLF are eligible to have their cases reviewed.
To meet the PSLF eligibility requirements, borrowers must work for a qualifying employer in a nonprofit organization or federal, state, local or tribal government setting. You can use the PSLF Help Tool to see if you’re eligible. If you don’t qualify for PSLF, you may be able to repay your student loan debt on better terms by refinancing.
Keep in mind that refinancing your federal loans into a private student loan would make you ineligible for PSLF in the future.You can learn more about student loan refinancing by contacting a knowledgeable loan officer at Credible.
