More than 50 members of Congress may benefit from student loan forgiveness.

Members of Congress must submit annual financial disclosure forms that list any liabilities of $10,000 or more for themselves, for their spouses and for their dependent children.

A review of the House and Senate financial disclosure forms for members of the 117th Congress finds that a total of 56 members of Congress reported student loan liabilities, including 4 Senators (4%) and 52 Representatives (12%). These members of Congress included 37 Democrats and 19 Republicans, demonstrating that student loan debt is a bipartisan issue.

These members of Congress reported having student loan liabilities. If the member of Congress filed for an extension of the reporting requirement, a prior year’s disclosure form may have been used to include them in this list. This list does not include members of Congress who owe less than $10,000 in student loans.
