The passage of the Higher Education Opportunity Act on August 14, 2008 included a provision that applies student loans to section 207 of the SCRA (the 6% interest rate provision). This change appears to have been effective August 14, 2008 and seems to apply to subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford, Plus and Consolidation loans. Does anyone know if private student loans are now covered? Does anyone have additional information on this amendment? Thank you.
