An amendment in a recently passed House bill would ease federal employees’ student loan debt by up to $5,000. The relief will be granted to individuals who have earned a bachelor’s or advanced degree and have served in an area of public service for five consecutive years. The amendment was proposed by Rep.

He feels that the move would encourage more highly trained individuals to work in the area of public service.
