sweet v mcmahon settlement agreement
Definition
A court-approved class action settlement in the federal lawsuit Sweet v. McMahon (formerly Sweet v. Cardona), providing full discharge of federal student loans, refunds with interest, and credit repair for borrowers who filed 'borrower defense to repayment' claims against over 150 higher education institutions accused of misconduct, such as false job placement promises.
The agreement resolves claims against the U.S. Department of Education for delays in processing borrower defense applications, offering relief to class members and certain post-class applicants from 'Exhibit C' schools, with notices and discharges rolling out as of early 2026.
