Biden's SAVE Plan to Significantly Reduce Student Loan Payments Starting July
Millions of borrowers will see lower monthly bills, though legal challenges could impact the program's future.
- The SAVE plan reduces the percentage of discretionary income required for loan payments from 10% to 5% for undergraduates.
- Borrowers with both undergraduate and graduate loans will have payments calculated using a weighted average.
- The plan also includes provisions for faster loan forgiveness for those with smaller debts.
- Legal challenges from Republican-led states may block the program's full implementation.
- Borrowers already enrolled in the SAVE plan will see changes automatically reflected in their July bills.
