Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:24:02 GMT

For borrowers with federal student loan debt, repayments begin Oct. 1, and the D.C. Office of the Attorney General is advising consumers to gather the latest information on the status of their loans to prepare for that first payment date.The federal government paused student loan payments during the COVID-19 emergency, which ended May 11, 2023. There had been proposals to extend the emergency, but those were blocked when Congress passed legislation to prevent further extensions.Efforts to provide debt relief through a plan at the U.S. Department of Education were stymied when the Supreme Court issued a ruling blocking the plan. Under the student relief plan, borrowers would have seen between $10,000 and $20,000 of their debt forgiven.Student borrowers were put on notice about the end of the program that put their payments on pause, but the D.C. Attorney General’s Office notes in an advisory that “borrowers who graduated during the COVID-19 emergency should pay special attention to t...

She is one of 10 members of the women’s professional tennis tour’s Coach Inclusion Program, which is in its first full year of trying to help female coaches break into the the top level of the sport.It’s not an easy path.“There are so few female coaches. And so few opportunities. There need to be more opportunities: ‘Hey, we have this. Interested?’ That needs to happen more,” said Yao-Gallop, who works with junior players for the Canadian tennis federation — including, in the past, 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu and 2021 U.S. Open runner-up Leylah Fernand...
