It looks like they finally changed it so non-working spouses can be claimed if the working spouse pays their loans which is a HUGE win in my book. I fought this for YEARS so I'm pretty excited about this change. Like I used to email every legislator about it every new session, and I have a lot of friends in the legislature and would hound them about it constantly. I'm glad it finally happened! I'm a stay at home mom but my husband works and pays my student loans and then can't claim them which is insane to me. We live in Maine, he works in Maine, I spend our money in Maine.
