NEW YORK (AP) — Karin Engstrom thought she’d be paying off her federal student loans for the rest of her life. It also credits borrowers for periods before the pandemic when they were allowed to pause or reduce payments due to financial hardships. “Info: Your student loans have been forgiven,” the letter read. Borrowers who have made 20 or 25 years of qualifying payments (depending on the repayment plan) qualify, if they hold direct loans or Federal Family Education Loans with the Education Department, including borrowers with Parent PLUS loans. The official Federal Student Aid guide to the Income Driven Repayment adjustment is a good resource for updates.

Another repayment optionFederal student loan borrowers can now sign up for the Biden administration's new loan repayment plan, and they could be enrolled in it by the time the bills resume. If your student loan servicer can't process your application for the SAVE plan by the time payments resume, it should place you in a temporary forbearance.

☆ A student-loan company at the center of a lawsuit blocking Biden's debt cancellation with a 'dubious record of customer service' just got a new contract to keep servicing millions of borrowers, Cori B

The Education Department awarded five student-loan companies new contracts, including MOHELA. "No company should be profiting from the student debt crisis, especially MOHELA with their dubious record of customer service in the past," she continued. "My office will continue our work to hold student loan servicers accountable for their harm to our communities. Ultimately, there is still much work to be done to provide student debt relief, bolster college affordability, and begin the transition to a world without student debt at all." As Bush referenced, MOHELA is responsible for the whole PSLF portfolio, which forgives student debt for government and nonprofit workers after ten years of qualifying payments.
☆ 37 million student-loan borrowers will get 'the most affordable repayment plan ever' when new contracts with 5 companies go into effect next year, Biden's Education Department says

The Education Department awarded five student-loan companies new contracts to overhaul debt repayment. The department said the contracts will deliver "major improvements" for student-loan borrowers. "This additional funding is essential to support students and student loan borrowers," the press release said. But the Republican-controlled House is unlikely to approve more funding to facilitate student-loan programs. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, for example, proposed cutting spending for the Education Department to prohibit it from implementing student-loan forgiveness and creating a new income-driven repayment plan in his debt ceiling bill.
