What the 2026 Student Loan Changes Mean for You

New forgiveness pathways, payment adjustments, and program updates could significantly impact your repayment strategy

The federal student loan landscape is shifting. Here's what borrowers need to know about the changes affecting millions of Americans.

IDR Account Adjustments

Payment count corrections continue to bring borrowers closer to forgiveness than they realized.

What to Do After the End of the SAVE Program

The December 2024 settlement eliminated SAVE. If you've been in forbearance waiting for a resolution, you now face a critical decision: choose a different IDR plan now or wait until July for the new REPAYE Adjusted Plan (RAP).

PSLF Opportunities

Public Service Loan Forgiveness remains a powerful option for qualifying employment.

💡 Why This Matters Now

Many borrowers are closer to forgiveness than they think — but navigating these changes alone can mean missing critical deadlines or choosing the wrong repayment plan. A quick review of your specific situation can reveal options you didn't know existed.
