The American Bar Association will have to wait to find out if its employees will qualify for public service loan forgiveness.
The ABA and the U.S. Department of Education were in court Wednesday for a hearing on the ABA's request for a preliminary injunction stating that its employees are eligible for loan forgiveness, but U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly of the District of Columbia did not issue a ruling from the bench.
The two-hour hearing was the latest in a 20-month-old lawsuit the ABA filed against the Education Department, after it told several ABA employees who believed they qualified to have their federal loan balances dismissed after 10 years that they are in fact ineligible.
