SAVE Plan at Risk: What Student Loan Borrowers Need to Know and How to Prepare
Is the SAVE Plan Doomed?
What Borrowers Need to Know Now
The SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education) plan was designed to make student loan repayment more affordable and accessible for millions of borrowers. However, recent developments suggest that its future is uncertain. With potential policy changes looming, it’s crucial to understand how these shifts could impact your repayment strategy and what steps you can take to protect your financial future.
The Uncertain Future of the SAVE Plan
The SAVE plan, introduced as a replacement for the Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE) plan, provides borrowers with lower payments based on income and eliminates unpaid interest for those in income-driven repayment. This has made it an attractive option for many, especially those with low incomes.
However, its future is in jeopardy. Legal challenges and political opposition have placed the plan under scrutiny, and many experts believe it may be repealed or significantly altered. If the SAVE plan is discontinued, borrowers could lose access to its unique benefits, potentially leading to higher payments and fewer forgiveness opportunities.
What Happens If the SAVE Plan Is Repealed?
-
Income-Based Repayment (IBR): Payments are capped at 10% or 15% of discretionary income, depending on when the loan originated, with forgiveness after 20 or 25 years.
-
Pay As You Earn (PAYE): Similar to SAVE, PAYE caps payments at 10% of discretionary income and offers forgiveness after 20 years, but it’s only available to certain borrowers.
-
Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE): This plan may be reinstated as an alternative to SAVE, offering affordable payments and forgiveness after 20 or 25 years, depending on the loan type.
These plans lack some of the benefits of the SAVE plan, such as the elimination of unpaid interest. Borrowers relying on these benefits should start preparing now for a potential transition.
