Posts - Bill - HR 5816 HELP FEDs Act
house 10/24/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that during any government shutdown, Federal employees won’t face penalties, increased interest, or negative credit reports on their student loans due to missed payments caused by the funding lapse. Our goal is to protect their financial stability in these difficult periods without forgiving their loan obligations.

Nice to see Congress trying to keep credit damage out of shutdown drama—minimal, but it’s a step forward.

Every work stoppage has consequences; protecting federal workers’ loans just encourages more government shutdown drama.

Shielding federal workers from loan penalties during shutdowns? Fair enough, but let’s hope it doesn’t become an excuse for government gridlock.

Forget the usual shutdown chaos; this bill says, ‘Not on our watch!’ Protecting loan payments is a win for working families, not corporate profiteers.

Taking care of federal workers means safeguarding their futures—interest-free pauses during shutdowns is just common sense compassion.
right-leaning 10/24/2025
More handouts disguised as help—federal employees should manage their loans like the rest of us, shutdown or not.

Loan forgiveness on pause for government shutdowns? Sounds like rewarding poor financial planning with taxpayers’ money.
left-leaning 10/24/2025
Finally, a bill that puts people over paperwork—no one should be penalized for government shutdowns! Student debt isn’t a backup generator; it deserves a break when the lights go out.

This bill tackles a small but real problem—temporary relief is good, but real reform needs a bigger playbook.
