The current student loan landscape is fraught with uncertainty. Administrative changes at the Department of Education are causing confusion for borrowers trying to navigate repayment and have created new obstacles for nurses, teachers, and other employees of nonprofit organizations in accessing the Public Service Loan Forgiveness they are entitled to. Just hours ago, online applications for Income-Driven Repayment plans opened back up, giving borrowers more options for relief. In our latest blog post, we spotlight recent student loan policy shifts and their impact on borrowers’ options for financial relief right now.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) is challenging the recent freeze on income-driven repayment (IDR) applications. This affects over 12 million borrowers who rely on these plans for affordable monthly payments, plus millions more seeking relief. These programs are vital for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) candidates—including countless teachers, healthcare workers, and government employees at all levels. The AFT is seeking a court order to restore access to these programs, emphasizing their importance to working people and borrowers striving for higher education.

Student Loan Borrowers Facing Dramatic Increases in Monthly Payments ?? 43% of federal student loan borrowers are now delinquent. ?? With the Department of Education no longer processing applications for more affordable repayment plans, millions of borrowers are being forced into financial distress. Wage garnishment through employer payroll is set to begin in June, adding even more pressure. For non-profit healthcare workers, educators, and government employees, Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) remains intact—but qualifying has just become significantly more difficult. And this was before the Department of Education was gutted earlier this week. Borrowers are being left to navigate this crisis alone, and the stakes for mistakes have never been higher. Employers can step in with real solutions to help employees lower monthly payments and avoid wage garnishment and even save for retirement through Qualified Student Loan Payments. In today’s challenging landscape, these benefits have become essential. Learn more about the crisis and what it means for borrowers in this Forbes article: https://lnkd.in/efgu-MZM Companies offering Student Loan Assistance through Tuition.io have already seen a 23% reduction in workforce turnover.
