Student Borrower Advocate Act

The office established by the bill shall (1) assist student loan borrowers in resolving problems with the Office of Federal Student Aid; (2) compile, analyze, publish, and attempt to resolve borrowers' complaints; and (3) make recommendations with respect to federal student loan programs and the experiences of borrowers in repayment under such programs. The bill also places additional requirements on the office, such as making certain student loan oversight information available to the public.
