The rest will receive their letters in coming weeks.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The end of SAVE stems from a settlement reached in December between the Department of Education and Missouri, which led a coalition of Republican states that argued in court that the Biden administration did not have the authority to create the debt relief program without congressional approval.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The American flag and Department of Education flags whip in the wind outside the department's headquarters in Washington, DC, in March.\" class=\"wp-image-7636\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/50a0f54abdd374cb3d29ec779acc9692.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>The American flag and Department of Education flags whip in the wind outside the department&#8217;s headquarters in Washington, DC, in March.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Chip Somodevilla\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Trump administration announces deal to end Biden-era student debt repayment plan<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>3  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            The Trump administration resumed applying interest to borrowers\u2019 balances last summer.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Picking new repayment plans\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Some people aren\u2019t waiting to move into new plans, even though most will face higher monthly payments.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            About 25% of SAVE borrowers, Kent said, have opted for the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), which was created last year by President Donald Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Borrowers\u2019 monthly payments will be between 1% and 10% of their income, depending on their earnings \u2014 though they must pay at least $10 a month. Their remaining balances will be canceled after 30 years of payments, and the plan contains several other incentives.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Another 50% are shifting to the Income-Based Repayment Plan (IBR), one of several legacy plans. This option limits monthly payments to 10% or 15% of discretionary income and forgives remaining balances after 20 or 25 years of payments. (IBR plans are not available to borrowers who take out new loans after July 1.)\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And the remaining 25% of borrowers chose the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan (ICR) or the Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan (PAYE), though they will have to switch again by July 2028 when these plans will be eliminated.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Those who don\u2019t pick a new plan by the deadline will be enrolled in the tiered standard repayment plan, which was also created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Those borrowers will have between 10 and 25 years to repay their loans, depending on the amount borrowed.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Ochoa is considering the RAP and IBR plans, but her estimated monthly payment would be between $1,500 and $1,600, according to the federal student aid calculator she checked.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Even though she\u2019s hoping to be free of her loan after 10 years of payments through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, that increase the couple is facing now is forcing them to consider an array of life changes \u2014 including pulling their 2-year-old daughter out of dance classes and stopping the $100 monthly contribution to her 529 college savings account, along with potentially having only one child.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThat would definitely mean pausing any plans to grow our family,\u201d Ochoa said of the larger monthly payment. \u201cThe biological clock is ticking \u2026 Will we regret not giving her a sibling?\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Andrea Murzello\" class=\"wp-image-7637\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8531991957c38a4d7c4b7925576aac87.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Andrea Murzello<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>CNN<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>As student loan interest restarts for SAVE plan borrowers, some are feeling \u2018crushed\u2019<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>5  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            After receiving their notices, borrowers should log into their studentaid.gov accounts to look at their different options, said Abby Shafroth, director of the student loan borrower assistance project at the National Consumer Law Center. In addition to the monthly payment amount, they may want to consider how many years it will take them to pay back their loans and what the total repayment amount will be.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=7617\">Does Trump even care if Russia helps Iran target US troops?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Borrowers may also want to ask their loan servicers for forbearance while they figure out how to handle the larger monthly tab, she said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Borrowers also don\u2019t have to rush into making a decision immediately, said Aissa Canchola Ba\u00f1ez, policy director at Protect Borrowers, an advocacy group. They should take time to do their homework on the different plans \u2014 though ultimately, they\u2019ll likely have to pay more.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere are no good options for most of these SAVE borrowers,\u201d she said, noting that the smaller share of SAVE borrowers shifting to RAP plans shows that option is not as affordable. \u201cThe options that they have at their disposal are all very much more expensive.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Kent, the current under secretary of education, pushed back, saying there are affordable choices. The SAVE plan was unlawful and overly generous, he argued, so it can\u2019t be compared to the other income-driven repayment options.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The two plans created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act address the needs of low-income borrowers with sizable balances, he said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Plus, Americans do not support broad student loan forgiveness, Kent said. An April 2024 ABC News\/Ipsos poll found that 42% of Americans thought then-President Joe Biden was doing too much to cancel student loan debt, with 34% saying the right amount and 22% saying too little.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cPeople generally believe that if you take out a loan, you are responsible for repaying it,\u201d Kent said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to give you the tools necessary to be able to do that in a meaningful way.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Sick to my stomach\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            One South Carolina resident in her early 30s is staring down a new monthly student loan tab of about $499 in an IBR plan, up from $10 under SAVE. She has about $48,000 in federal student loan debt from bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt made me honestly sick to my stomach to think about having to take out an extra $500,\u201d said the borrower, who asked not to be identified to protect her job. \u201cFor a week, my anxiety was through the roof.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The higher payment comes as she and her husband are raising two young children after recently buying a home. The family is already discussing ways to cut expenses, including no longer paying someone to mow their lawn and possibly reducing retirement contributions.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe need to cut that out or try and think of other things, bill-wise, to cut out,\u201d she said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            She has also considered taking on more work through her side business but worries that earning more income could increase her student loan payments because they are based on income.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, I need to make more money.\u2019 But then my payment would probably go up even more because it\u2019s all based on income,\u201d she said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Others are not ready to look at what they\u2019ll have to pay going forward.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Madison Tracy, 28, a freelance social media manager who lives outside Columbus, Ohio, plans to wait until the fall before weighing her choices.
