Yeah, well, if the #DOE is on the chopping block, does that mean I can stop paying the #PlusLoan I was promised would be forgiven under #PSLF and wasn’t? The #FederalStudentAid website is down for “maintenance,” locking users out until February 9th.

Announcing the pause of federal loans and grants when student loans haven’t been disbursed for the semester yet and not specifying in the memo if they will be part of the pause was a choice. I thought I’d at least have until next semester. (1/2)

Damn I’m sorry to hear that. I have Mohela so either you’d have to consolidate your loans to change servicers or submit a complain to FederalStudentAid but who knows if they’ll do anything. 😤

When government chatbots go rogue...!

i.d. the @federalstudentaid chatbot ("Astrid") is lying/hallucinating about how to calculate net worth:

"The entire FAFSA® 2025-2026 application is based off of 2023 income."

Basically telling students to commit fraud.

Insane.
A chat conversation regarding the FAFSA application for the 2025–2026 period. The first message states that the application is based on 2023 income. Astrid, identified by a user icon, asks if there’s anything else to assist with. The response in a blue box confirms understanding and inquires whether it’s necessary to check stock values from 2023. A final message simply replies, "Correct!" indicating agreement. The conversation is timestamped at 10:44 AM.
