EPISODE RESOURCESSAVE Plan Cancellation Press ReleaseSAVE Plan Timeline Press ReleaseParent Plus Loan D-Day, Disallowed Student Loan Guidelines and Details on the Immediate Future of the SAVE PlanIn this episode, we go through EXTREMELY important details on the future of Parent Plus Loans, and why many borrowers need to take action by April 1st in order to preserve eligibility for student loan forgiveness. These borrowers must have a newly consolidated loan disbursed by July 1st to maintain eligibility, and all parents should be wary of borrowing any new Parent Plus Loans after that time. We also cover certain student loan guidelines from the Biden era that have been disallowed, including, crucially, the ability to consolidate federal loans without resetting your credit towards forgiveness. Lastly, for borrowers on the SAVE plan, we have details on the 90 day timeline borrowers will have to move to a new Income Driven Repayment plan or risk being placed on a (likely significantly higher) Standard Plan. Tune in for details!

SAVE Plan Dissolved, April 1 Deadlines, and Growing IDR/PSLF BacklogsThis episode shares several student loan updates, led by a higher court directing a lower court to honor a settlement dissolving the SAVE plan, with no timeline yet for moving SAVE borrowers into other repayment options and speculation ranging from IBR to the standard plan. We also cover the importance of Parent PLUS borrowers potentially losing access to IDR and PSLF for new loans after July 1 , and why April 1 is the practical deadline for consolidating loans. A similar urgency applies to borrowers needing Direct Loans (not FFEL/Stafford) for PSLF or certain plans, with consolidation needed by June 30. The Department Of Education reports an IDR application backlog of over 560,000 and PSLF buyback backlog around 88,000.Lastly we discuss private loans, and the potential impact of the Fed's likely refusal to continue lowering interest rates.00:00 Save Plan Ends01:15 Transition Uncertainty02:30 Parent PLUS Deadline04:55 Direct Loan Consolidation06:02 IDR Backlog Update07:59 PSLF Buyback Delays09:30 IDR Forgiveness Restart10:46 Refinancing Rate Outlook12:03 Wrap Up Next Steps

EPISODE RESOURCESSchools Eligible for DischargeSAVE Plan Court Update, Forbearance Strategy, and a Borrower Defense Deadline RulingThis episode provides an update on the still-unlikely revival of the SAVE repayment plan and what borrowers in SAVE administrative forbearance should consider. SAVE, created by the Biden administration and popular for its low payments and generous forgiveness, remains effectively halted: borrowers can’t newly enroll, interest accrues, optional payments don’t earn IDR or PSLF credit, and the plan appears headed toward phase-out by 2028. A recent court development removed the case due to lack of dispute after the parties agreed to end SAVE, creating temporary uncertainty, and we talk about what comes next for those seeking forgiveness and those planning to pay off their loans in full. We also preview the upcoming Repayment Assistance Plan expected mid-2026, noting it may lower payments for families under $100k AGI, and share a separate court ruling granting loan discharges for certain defrauded-student applicants after the Department of Education missed a deadline.00:00 Save Plan Update00:58 Why Save Is Stuck02:02 Court Twist Explained03:22 Is Save Coming Back04:46 Stay or Exit Forbearance06:26 Best Backup Repayment Plans07:05 Repayment Assistance Preview09:15 Borrower Defense Ruling10:42 Wrap Up and Next Episode
