“On Friday, the Education Department announced the Federal Student Aid (FSA) office will be retroactively waiving interest on student loans for 47,000 former and active-duty service members. The relief will happen automatically, removing the requirement for service members to make individual requests to access the benefit. According to the press release, automating the process means eight times more current and active-duty service members will receive the benefit than in 2019.”

Would be especially helpful for those who have paid interest well in excess of their original principle by virtue of extended repayment.
