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.
