Today, @usedgov announced new final rules that will make sweeping changes to the federal student loan program.
“Many student loan borrowers will face huge increases in their monthly payments.” #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/APLdBh5NDM
If you are currently repaying a Parent PLUS loan, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 if you want to have the option to repay it in an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/IHrzbfolyt
A record number of borrowers have fallen far behind on their federal student loan payments, another pressure point among millions of increasingly stretched American consumers.
And the problem is likely to grow. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents @nytimes https://t.co/TW27JIsUDm
“@usedgov is putting the burden on student loan borrowers to navigate this complicated mess quickly or face sky-high bills...it’s leaving people to fend for themselves in the midst of a deepening affordability crisis.” #DefendStudents @Forbes https://t.co/Sl5Zi5nyzw
“This abrupt change is going to cause hardship for millions of people who are already struggling to manage rising costs in other areas...we’re going to see a lot more people default in the coming year,” said Abby Shafroth. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/SVwGhRTogC
“The last thing student loan borrowers need is more chaos from the federal government,” said Kyra Taylor, a staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents via @nytimes & @BostonGlobe https://t.co/RNxSkNAAfE
“History tells us that dismantling the Department of Education, ending programs that help students learn, and shuffling the remaining programs among other agencies won’t fix anything." @Forbes @AdamSMinsky #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/4INKzOapyb
“Congress should think twice before allowing the @usedgov to add unnecessary chaos into the student loan system," said Kyra Taylor @NCLC4consumers. "It must ensure that the student loan system adequately protects student loan borrowers.” #DefendStudents https://t.co/MjFZ692uYT
Student loan borrowers enrolled in the popular Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan were dealt a serious blow yesterday, as a federal appeals court paved the way for @usedgov's plan to end SAVE. 1/2 #DefendStudents https://t.co/8GRZHFB2cn
"Parent PLUS borrowers with low incomes or high student loan burdens will not have a good option to reduce their payments to a more affordable amount," according to NCLC's Student Loan Borrower Assistance program. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents @freep https://t.co/2Xpewkf1tm
“The court has given @usedgov a golden opportunity to do right by people struggling with the staggering cost of living & crippling student loan debt,” said Abby Shafroth, NCLC's managing director of advocacy. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents @TheEDULedger https://t.co/5L0wqxKyIb
“Legal aid organizations have seen firsthand how student loan rules and practices can push struggling families into default. Without proper implementation, these new rules could force people to pay more than they should." #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/N5z70Hhrsi
“The court has given the Department a golden opportunity to do right by people struggling with the staggering cost of living and crippling student loan debt.” #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/SKTjBIHM14
"I think a lot of Parent PLUS borrowers who are struggling with repayment don't realize that this is an option," says @KyraTaylor2022. "Many parents instead have been using forbearances and deferments." @USNewsEducation #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/dTorRD36el
Student loan default is hitting a lot of borrowers at exactly the wrong moment. @KyraTaylor2022 will join a March 5 conversation with @AssetFunders Network on what’s driving default, who’s most at risk, and where philanthropy can step in. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents
“Now is the time to reform collection policies to reflect the current cost of living...The policies are outdated and can trap people already struggling to keep up with rising costs deeper in debt.” @washingtonpost #DefendStudents #ProtectBorrowers https://t.co/diTgtSxw0O
“Today’s announcement throws a lifeline to working and middle class families who are buckling under the weight of outdated student loan policies that don’t reflect today’s high cost of living and affordability crisis." #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/SJ5y1sOBH3
Shafroth urges people to check if their tax refund is at risk before filing by calling the Treasury Offset Program Hotline to see if they've been flagged and potentially resolve issues to keep their refund. @scrippsnews #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/EmRHlQACOx
As borrowers prepare to file their taxes, they should first check if their federal student loans are in default and take extra precautions—or potentially risk having their tax refunds seized. @BorrowerJustice #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents https://t.co/kufOks2afJ
.@usedgov will not permit anyone else to enroll in SAVE or forgive any loans through the SAVE Plan (or the plan that SAVE replaced, called REPAYE), and it will deny any pending applications. #ProtectBorrowers #DefendStudents @Forbes @AdamSMinsky https://t.co/USYvMoAr4m
