Clean Slate through Rehabilitation Act
United States119th CongressHR-8361House of Representatives
Updated: Apr 16, 2026
Summary
This legislation seeks to enhance the credit rehabilitation process for federal student loan borrowers by amending the Higher Education Act of 1965. Specifically, it modifies Section 428F(a)(1)(C) to expand the scope of credit history removal for rehabilitated loans. The bill changes the requirement from removing only the record of default to removing any adverse information relating to such a loan from a borrower's credit history. This provision ensures a more comprehensive credit repair for individuals who successfully rehabilitate their defaulted student loans, offering a broader "clean slate" to help improve their financial standing.
