US student loan repayment plans undergo major overhaul July 1

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Beginning July 1, significant changes to federal student loan repayment plans will take effect, impacting millions of borrowers. The SAVE Plan will be phased out, requiring borrowers to enroll in alternative plans within 90 days or be automatically placed on the standard repayment plan. New borrowers will be limited to two options: a Tiered Standard repayment plan or the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), which bases payments on income and dependents without an inflation adjustment. Parent PLUS borrowers are expected to be particularly affected by these upcoming adjustments. AI
