Seventeen percent offer some type of student loan assistance, according to a 2021 survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
The most popular workplace programs don't offer direct relief for student loan payments.
The expanded tax break for student loan payments is temporary, however.
Starting in 2024, employers will also be allowed to pay a 401(k) match to borrowers making student loan payments, a provision enacted by a 2022 law known as Secure 2.0.
