The Federal Government announced a three-part plan to help working and middle-class federal student loan borrowers transition back to regular payments. This plan includes:
- An extension of the federal student loan repayment pause.
- Visit the When is the federal student loan payment pause expected to expire? Help Center Article to learn more.
- Targeted relief for federal student loan holders that have individual income below $125K (or $250K for married couples/households) and
- A new income-driven repayment plan that will help reduce future monthly payments for lower- and middle-income borrowers.
