NAVI Navient Corporation

Navient, the nation’s largest student loan servicer, has issued the following statement in support of the Stop Taxing Death and Disability Act (H.R. 5204):

We applaud bipartisan efforts in the House Ways and Means Committee to advance H.R. 5204. This legislation would eliminate the negative tax consequences faced by student loan borrowers or their loved ones when loans are forgiven due to death or disability. We also applaud bipartisan efforts to pass companion legislation in the Senate (S. 2800). Grieving family members and individuals with disabilities need relief not a tax bill.
