- W1762684921 abstract "In 1978, Congress enacted 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8), thereby restricting the availability of student-loan discharge for student debtors. The standard Congress established was the “undue hardship” test, which a debtor needed to pass in order to discharge an educational loan. “Undue hardship” lacked a definition in § 523(a)(8), however, and courts derived a number of different tests to measure a debtor’s inability to make future loan payments. Some courts enacted the particularly severe standard of requiring that a debtor prove a “certainty of hopelessness” for any future loan repayments. This Note examines different circuits’ approaches to the “undue hardship” determination and advocates for a congressional solution that would codify the Eighth Circuit’s totality test in addition to a partial discharge provision for debtors who have met the “undue hardship” requirement. The Note argues that, in the absence of congressional action, courts should break from precedent to apply the provisions suggested in the Note’s amendment to § 523(a)(8). Alternatively, courts may look to Congress’s definition of “undue hardship” in 11 U.S.C. § 524(m) to provide a basis for the interpretation of § 523(a)(8). These solutions would provide more clarity to the “undue hardship” standard in changing economic and social times while respecting Congress’s intent and the “fresh start” purpose of the Bankruptcy Code." @default.
