This week on a special episode of "Off The Cuff" we hear from Federal Student Aid's (FSA) Chief Operating Officer Richard Cordray as he spoke at the NASFAA 2021 virtual conference and detailed his vision for FSA. Justin then dives into a Q&A with Cordray where they discuss potential reforms for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program and the transition of millions of borrowers back into repayment when the federal forbearance period on federally-held student loans comes to an end. Plus, we want to know how you are spending your holiday weekend?
