Congress Republicans are pursuing one of the most important changes in the Federal Student Loan Program in history. This overhaul, which would have an impact on millions of borrowers, is included in the reconciliation package of the Republicans. If it is adopted, the package would also extend the tax reductions implemented during Trump administration in 2017. A key aspect of the proposed overhaul is the intention to eliminate most of the reimbursement plans for existing student loans and provide a single reimbursement option for future borrowers.
- 💰 The new plan would oblige new borrowers to accept a reimbursement period from 10 to 25 years, depending on their debt size. The total amount due, including interest, would be divided into equal monthly payments.
- 💰 Borrowers currently holding loans will not be eligible for the new plan, but can access certain older options, including standard reimbursement plans with durations ranging from 10 to 30 years.
- 💰 The Republicans create their reimbursement assistance plan for future and current borrowers, which would allow payments according to their total gross income.
- 💰 The assistance plan would also give up all interest after a borrower made his payment, which means that the borrowers would no longer see their loans developing.
Read more details on the reimbursement options according to income media here.
