With all the recent changes and uncertainty in federal student aid, the Department of Education has made strides in providing some new income-driven repayment plan options and tweaking old ones to relieve student loan indebtedness. The November 1, 2012, Federal Register contained the final rules for the new Pay As You Earn (PAYE) Repayment Plan, as well as revisions to the existing Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) Plan and the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) Plan. In this NASFAA webinar, we will review the features of the IBR, ICR, and PAYE repayment plans, as well as the recent changes to and key differences among them. We will include a preview changes to the IBR Plan effective July 1, 2014. We will also discuss how you might counsel your borrowers on selecting a repayment plan, completing their plan application and documentation requirements, and understanding their follow-up responsibilities after they have been approved for a plan.
