Again, go directly to the source, not to third party reporting that all too often get the story wrong.
Don't go for the game of telephone.
Below I'll paste the link again.
"The Higher Education Loan Authority of the State of Missouri (MOHELA)—a “public instrumentality” of the State, Mo. Rev. Stat. §173.360, and part of the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, §173.445—is one of those servicers."
Missouri established MOHELA by law as part of its state operation. I can link to the specific statute as well, below.
So MO by law operates this program and has it as a significant actor in its public policy. It seems pretty straightforwardly part of the state's operation, and the state would lose should the loans be prematurely canceled.
