News

May 8th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Grandview, Iowa)  – A collision Monday afternoon between an SUV and a pickup truck in southeastern Iowa, left three people dead, and two others injured. The Iowa State Patrol reports the crash happened at around 12:55-p.m., west of Grandview, in Louisa County.

Authorities say a 2006 Toyota RAV4 was traveling eastbound on Highway 92, when the driver attempted to pass a semi tractor-trailer. A 2011 Chevy Silverado pickup was traveling westbound, and struck the SUV. Both vehicles came to rest north of the road in a field near L Avenue.

Three of the victims died at the scene. Two were injured and transported to the University of Iowa Hospital by Wapello Ambulance and Iowa City AirCare. The names of those involved in the crash were not immediately released. The crash remains under investigation.

Gov. Reynolds Issues Disaster Proclamation for Five Counties in Response to Severe Weather

News

May 8th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES –  Gov. Kim Reynolds has issued a disaster proclamation for Benton, Iowa, Jasper, Muscatine, and Poweshiek counties in response to severe weather that occurred on May 7. The governor’s proclamation activates the Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program and the Disaster Case Management Program for those counties.   

The Iowa Individual Assistance Grant Program provides grants of up to $5,000 for households with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Grants are available for home or car repairs, replacement of clothing or food, and temporary housing expenses. Original receipts are required for those seeking reimbursement for actual expenses related to storm recovery. The grant application and instructions are available on the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services website athhs.iowa.gov/disaster-assistance-programs. Potential applicants have 45 days from the date of the proclamation to submit a claim.  

The Disaster Case Management Program addresses serious needs related to disaster-related hardship, injury, or adverse conditions. Disaster case managers work with clients to create a disaster recovery plan and provide guidance, advice, and referral to obtain a service or resource. There are no income eligibility requirements for this program; it closes 180 days from the date of the governor’s proclamation. For information on the Disaster Case Management Program, contact your local community action association or visit www.iowacommunityaction.org.    

More than 6,300 student loan borrowers in Iowa approved for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)

News

May 8th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Washington, D-C) To mark Public Service Recognition Week, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) has announced it has approved nearly 616,000 borrowers nationwide for approximately $42 billion in Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) since October 2021.

PSLF covers public employees—such as teachers, firefighters, and members of law enforcement, as well as those who work for a non-profit organization—in a variety of fields by forgiving the remaining federal student loan balance for those who make the required 120 qualifying monthly payments.

In fact, PSLF is making an incredible difference for public servants in Iowa:

  • Between October 2021 and May 2023, the Department has approved more than 6,300 borrowers in Iowa for approximately $335 million in loan forgiveness under temporary changes the Biden-Harris Administration made to the PSLF Program. That’s more than $52,000 per borrower!
  • While hundreds of thousands of Iowa borrowers already have benefited from PSLF, more will benefit as the program continues.

U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said “Since Day One, the Biden-Harris Administration has worked relentlessly to fix a broken student loan system, including by making sure we fulfill the promise of Public Service Loan Forgiveness for those who have spent a decade or more serving our communities and our country.

To date, the Biden-Harris team has kept that promise for more than 615,000 teachers, nurses, social workers, servicemembers, and other public servants by approving a combined $42 billion in student loan debt forgiveness. The difference that Public Service Loan Forgiveness is making in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans reminds us why we must continue doing everything we can to fight for borrowers and why families cannot afford to have progress derailed by partisan politicians. During Public Service Recognition Week—and every week—we thank all those who serve our communities.”

Public Service Recognition Week celebrates individuals who serve the United States and local communities as employees of federal, state, local, or tribal government.

Recent Improvements to the PSLF Application Process

  • In addition to record approvals, the Department is also announcing that for the first time, borrowers can now sign and submit their PSLF forms digitally and closely track their status through the process.
  • These significant changes to the PSLF application process create a faster, more straightforward, and more transparent process for borrowers.
  • The changes also improve the experience for public service employers, who now can confirm a borrower’s employment digitally via DocuSign.
