Federal Student Loan Pause Ends

The end of the Federal Student Loan pause is near! Starting September 1st, 2023, interest will resume on loans, and payments will be due in October 2023. It's time to take action and prepare for the upcoming changes.

Administrative Forbearance

For the past 39 months, many of you have enjoyed the benefits of Administrative Forbearance with $0 payments and 0% interest. However, it's important to be aware that this temporary relief is ending soon. While there have been extensions and proposals for forgiveness, it's time to face reality and plan for your payments.
‍
But don't worry! The Department of Education has options available to help you.

One-time account adjustment

There is a waiver in place for a one-time account adjustment that could result in discharge before payments are due. So, don't ignore the notices you'll receive via email and mail. It's crucial to explore your options and make informed decisions.

Income-Driven Repayment plans

Consider Income-Driven Repayment plans and keep an eye out for the Revision to Revised Pay As You Earn in 2024.

These programs can make your loans more affordable, with payments based on a percentage of your income above the Poverty Guideline Index (usually 10-20%).

If your income is currently lower than last year's taxes, you're unemployed, or you've experienced a drop in income, your payments could be as low as $0 per month!

And yes, these payments still count towards loan forgiveness and maintain your on-time monthly payments on credit reports.
