IMPORTANT INFO for Sweet v Cardona (now Sweet v McMahon) CLASS - DECISION GROUPS and POST-CLASS Folks (Posted on July 8, 2025) (r/Borrower Defense)

Just dropping this IMPORTANT INFO from the DOE for Sweet v Cardona (now Sweet v McMahon) peeps who are CLASS - DECISION GROUPS and POST-CLASS.

Edited To Add

Decisions Class are streamlined R and R submissions.

Post-class denials MUST ask the DOE for a reconsideration, which allows you to add additional evidence.

Orginial Post:

For REVISE and RESUBMITS (R and R) notices, the DOE is now saying that they WILL "disregard R and R*"* submissions if you EMAIL additional supporting documents or material. You CANNOT email the R and R back.

You MUST submit a NEW BDTR APPLICATION and INCLUDE your previous BDTR application number which can be fund on the Denial letter.

YOU HAVE 6 MONTHS TO RE-SUBMIT FROM THE RECEIPT OF THE R AND NOTICE (Here: https://studentaid.gov/borrower-defense**/

**)

The DOE states, "If you email supplemental information to the DOE or attempt to update your existing application, you will be treated as having failed to Revise and Resubmit".

ALSO, If you are still trying to add more evidence to your BDTR application this late in the game, you may want to wait for the decision letter to come out. We are reaching Group 5 Decision deadline, and Post-Class is 6 months after that. If you feel uneasy about your evidence, START collecting it now!

Follow all DIRECTIONS on anything you get from the DOE relating to BDTR (except demanding payment, they can pound sand LOL).

In Solidarity!!!
