Starting July 1, Biden’s SAVE plan will significantly lower monthly student loan payments based on income, offering relief and potential forgiveness for borrowers with debts over one-third of their annual income.
Biden’s SAVE Plan to Reduce Student Loan Payments and Offer Forgiveness Options
According to the article in Market Realist, starting July 1, a new plan from the Biden administration will lower monthly payments for student loans based on how much money borrowers make. This plan, called SAVE, could reduce payments significantly for many people. It works by calculating payments as a smaller part of what borrowers earn compared to older plans. For example, someone making $50,000 might see their monthly payment drop from $228 to about $67.
Biden’s SAVE plan is similar to another plan called REPAYE but makes some improvements. One big change is that interest won’t be added to what borrowers owe if they don’t pay it each month. Also, some borrowers with smaller debts could get their loans forgiven after just 10 years. To join the SAVE plan, borrowers must have debts that are more than one-third of what they make in a year. They can apply online at StudentAid.gov.
