Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) warned that if Kentucky students owe money on federal student loans, they should watch out for scamming loan repayment companies. The companies offering to help students lower their payments may be charging large fees for services available for free. "My administration will always put education first, and part of that means protecting Kentucky students, after they've graduated, from predatory companies trying to take advantage of them as they pay back the loans that helped them pursue their education goals," Gov. Beshear said. Some third-party companies claim to offer document preparation services and act as though they can help students qualify for a loan forgiveness program, but they may want upfront fees and personal and financial information.

LCDHD Public Information Brief 4/16/2021 Note: LCDHD server maintenance means some of the usual data is unavailable for today's brief. By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We added 152 new cases this week compared to 154 last week. So, our 7-day average incidence rate went down slightly. At the district level, we are averaging adding 10.37 new case per 100,000 citizens per day. Our growth rate projects now that we will double our total cases in 691 days. We experienced 1 COVID-19 related death this week. We have 136 active cases today compared to 128 active cases last Friday. We have 18 hospitalized cases today compared to 18 last Friday. Our 7-day average incidence chart is now showing 1 county in the "green-on-track" range, Clinton; 5 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Adair, Cumberland, Green, Russell, and Wayne; and 4 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Casey, McCreary, Pulaski, and Taylor. We are thankful to not have any "red-critical" counties now. Keep in mind, some of our 7-day-incidence data will be skewed over the next few days as we are reconciling our data against the state data. 2021-04-17 08:51:56 | Comments | Printable version
