In general, federal student loans are not passed on to spouses after death. If the borrower dies, federal student loans are typically discharged, meaning the debt is forgiven and does not need to be repaid by the spouse. However, this can depend on the type of loan and the specifics of the situation, so it's advisable to check with the loan servicer for detailed information. Additionally, private loans may have different terms and conditions regarding death and responsibility for repayment.
