The Biden administration has launched a beta application for its new repayment plan for student loan borrowers.
The Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan is an income-driven repayment plan that may cut many borrowers’ previous monthly payments in half, and will leave some people with no monthly bill.The Biden administration has launched a beta application for its new repayment plan for federal student loan borrowers.
The Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE plan, is an income-driven repayment plan that may cut many borrowers’ previous monthly payments in half, and will leave some people with no monthly bill.
The U.S. Department of Education says borrowers can begin enrolling now in what it calls, “the most affordable repayment plan yet.”
How the SAVE student loan plan works
Instead of paying 10% of their discretionary income a month toward their undergraduate student debt under the previous Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan, or REPAYE, plan, borrowers will eventually be required to pay just 5% of their discretionary income under the SAVE plan.Those who make less than $15 an hour won’t need to make any payments under the new option, the Education Department says.
“The SAVE plan is very generous to borrowers, almost like a grant after the fact,” said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz.
This is what happens when you have someone in government who wants to use government to HELP PEOPLE.
I know this graphic has a lot of text but I felt it was really important to make. Way too few borrowers know about the SAVE plan and how much it can save them on their student loan payments. I don't usually ask people to share things, but please share this. pic.twitter.com/Z7Fipbg9ys
