All About Public Service Loan Forgiveness
"Many student loan borrowers received some relief when the U.S. Department of Education paused payments, collections and interest on most federal student loans in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic," U.S. News & World Report writes.
..."The Biden administration recently announced a new income-driven repayment option, SAVE, or the Saving on a Valuable Education plan. In this plan, monthly payments decrease from 10% to 5% of a borrower's discretionary income, and no one earning less than the equivalent of $15 an hour annually will have to make payments.
'With the SAVE plan, negative amortization is going away, so you will not see your balance grow and grow and grow as you are just sort of crossing your fingers and hoping that PSLF is going to work out for you in 10 years,' says Jill Desjean, a senior policy analyst with the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators."
