The Department of Education recently filed a request with the Court in Sweet v. McMahon to delay its deadline for issuing decisions to post-class applicants (people who submitted a borrower defense application between June 23, 2022, and November 16, 2022).


We want to hear from post-class members: If the Department were able to delay the deadline, how would it affect you? Please fill out our survey below. We hope to use the results of this survey in our advocacy to argue against any further delay.


Please only fill out this survey if you are a Sweet post-class applicant (submitted your borrower defense application between June 23, 2022, and November 16, 2022) who has not yet received a decision. If you are a Sweet class member (submitted your BD application on or before June 22, 2022) or have other questions about borrower defense, please use our Get Help form.















Application Approved
Congratulations! We are happy to hear that your application was approved. You should receive your settlement relief within one year of the date of your decision.
Application Denied
Thank you for responding to our survey. Post-class applications that already received an initial decision are not directly affected by the government’s current motion regarding the post-class deadline. However, we still encourage you to virtually attend the court’s next hearing, which will take place on December 11, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Pacific/2:00 p.m. Eastern. The Zoom link will be available here under “Zoom Hearing Instructions.” For the latest on Sweet v. McMahon, please check our case page and FAQs.
