NAAG sent a letter signed by fifty-three state and territory attorneys general to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, urging the U.S. Department of Education to discharge the student loans of permanently and totally disabled veterans.

Less than three months after the NAAG letter, the President signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the Department of Education and the Department of Veterans Affairs to streamline the loan discharge process for veterans who had a TPD discharge.
