Though loans won’t be forgiven, there have been some changes that may be helpful. Here are a few options to consider and prepare for:
- The ‘Save Plan’ is a new repayment plan. It’s an income based repayment plan that will cut monthly payments by considering only 5 percent of disposable income (opposed to the prior 10 percent).
- The Department of Education has announced that they will not report missed payments to credit reporting agencies for 12 months, giving borrows a slight break.
- Student loan payments will officially begin in October. Jini suggests starting to save and prepare budgets this month (July), as interest will begin to accrue in September.
