美国参议员伯尼·桑德斯提出一项法案,拟禁止政府因未偿还学生贷款而扣押社会保障福利。这项提案也获得民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和埃德·马基支持,焦点指向年长借款人的债务压力。

教育部此前已放缓追缴

今年 1 月,美国教育部表示,将推迟工资扣押等非自愿追缴措施,以便落实特朗普税法推动的新联邦学生贷款还款选项。

教育部当时称,这段缓冲期可让已违约借款人通过恢复还款程序摆脱违约状态。CNBC 就当前暂停扣押安排向教育部询问时,发言人仍指向 1 月的那份声明。

新还款选项已在 7 月启动

报道提到,相关税法改革压缩了联邦学生贷款还款计划的数量,并从 7 月 1 日起推出两项新的还款选项。

这意味着,联邦政府一边调整还款体系,一边暂缓部分强制追缴。桑德斯此次提案,则进一步把争议点放到社会保障福利是否应被用于清偿学生贷款。

年长借款人规模不小

根据美联社对截至 3 月联邦数据的分析,约有 950 万名借款人处于学生贷款违约状态。

美国教育部第二季度数据显示,50 岁及以上学生贷款借款人约有 960 万人,未偿贷款余额接近 4570 亿美元。对这部分人群而言,若法案推进,社保收入被扣押的风险可能下降。

整体来看,这项提案尚处立法阶段,但它再次凸显美国学生贷款追缴政策与退休群体财务压力之间的冲突。
