H.R.8518

Domenic and Ed’s Law discharges parent borrower liability for student loans if the student becomes disabled.

Domenic and Ed’s Law amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to discharge parent borrower liability for student loans if the student becomes permanently and totally disabled. This applies to any outstanding loan received by a parent before, on, or after the enactment of this Act, regardless of the onset date of the disability. The law ensures that parents are not held liable if their child becomes disabled and unable to engage in substantial gainful activity due to a medically determinable physical or mental impairment.
