Federal Employee Student Debt Transparency Act

Bill 117 hr 8283, also known as the Federal Employee Student Debt Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency surrounding the student loan debt of federal employees. The bill requires federal agencies to report information on the amount of student loan debt held by their employees to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) on an annual basis.

The OPM will then compile this data and make it publicly available on their website. This information will include the total amount of student loan debt held by federal employees, as well as the average amount of debt per employee. The bill also requires federal agencies to provide information on any student loan repayment programs or benefits offered to their employees.

The goal of this legislation is to provide greater transparency around the student loan debt burden of federal employees and to help inform policymakers and the public about the impact of student loan debt on the federal workforce. By making this information publicly available, the bill aims to promote awareness and discussion around student loan debt and potential solutions to address this issue for federal employees. Overall, the Federal Employee Student Debt Transparency Act seeks to shed light on the student loan debt situation within the federal workforce and encourage efforts to support federal employees in managing and reducing their student loan debt.
