Hayes promised to introduce legislation allowing teachers with five years of classroom service to qualify for both Stafford Student Loan Forgiveness and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. On May 14, 2026, while serving in the same federal House office, she introduced the Teacher Debt Relief Act, described as making that exact technical correction. Because the promise was to introduce legislation, not secure enactment, introduction satisfies the promised outcome in the same term.
