Education Department , Now Excluding Some Borrowers , From Student Debt Relief.
The United States Department of Education has released new
guidelines that prevent certain federal student loan borrowers
from qualifying for the student loan forgiveness program.
NBC reports that the update to the Education Department's guidance for one-time student debt relief is a complete reversal of previous guidelines.
Previously, the department said that borrowers whose loans were not held by the Department of Education could consolidate their debt into Direct Loans in order to qualify.
According to an administration official,
the number of borrowers affected
by this decision is about 770,000.
In August, President Joe Biden announced a sweeping
student loan forgiveness program that included
up to $10,000 for federal student loan borrowers.
There are an estimated 5 million "overlooked borrowers"
with commercially-held Federal Family Education Loan Program
(FFEL) loans who have been excluded from debt forgiveness.
Those with FFEL loans were also excluded
from the federal student loan payment pause
that was in effect throughout the COVID pandemic.
On September 29, news of the policy change was met with fierce criticism from borrowers and student loan experts on social media.
According to the Department of Education's website, work
is under way to determine if an alternative pathway to debt
relief can be found for those with FFEL Program loans

But in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming Apple TV+ series 'Time Bandits,' Kudrow revealed that she's begun to revisit old 'Friends' episodes, in large part to keep the memory of her late co-star Perry alive.

Supreme Court Rejects , Challenge to Tax Law on, Foreign Investments.

Congress under former President Donald Trump.
On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign
corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled
Congress under former President Donald Trump.
NBC reports that the case had attracted scrutiny when
conservative Justice Samuel Alito refused to recuse
himself despite ties with one of the challenging lawyers.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
The case revolved around whether an individual can be
forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned
companies regardless of if they were a source of income.
According to the 16th Amendment
of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to "collect taxes on incomes.".
In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were
unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an
India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. .
While the company made a profit, the Moores
claim that they received no dividends and that
the money was reinvested in the business.
As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between
2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later
defined as income from their investment. .
Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law
enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017,
the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes.
They later sought a refund for that payment,
arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed
based on an increase in the value of a capital
investment not qualifying as income.
The couple's challenge was rejected
by the Supreme Court 7-2

NBC reports that Murthy warned that the
mental health crisis among young Americans
has become an urgent problem, citing social
media as "an important contributor.".
According to Murthy, the warning would include
language that alerts users to potential mental health
harms associated with using social media.
A surgeon general’s
warning label, which requires
congressional action, would
regularly remind parents and
adolescents that social media
has not been proved safe, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Evidence from tobacco labels
shows that surgeon general’s
warnings can increase
awareness and change behavior, Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General, via NBC.
Murthy reportedly went on to
acknowledge that a warning alone has
limitations and fails to make social media safe.
In an op-ed published in 'The New York Times,'
Murthy linked the amount of time spent using
social media with an increased risk for children
to develop anxiety and depression.

According to the American Psychological Association,
teens spend around five hours a day on popular

In his 'NYT' op-ed, Murthy called on all social media
platforms to "proactively enhance and contribute to
the mental health and well-being of our children.".
One 2019 study found that the number of teens with suicidal thoughts increased 47% between 2008 and
2017, a period which also saw social media use soar.
