Biden administration reverses course, reopens income-based student loan repayment programs

Two student loan repayment plans have been reopened for enrollment by the Department of Education (DOE) following a federal court injunction against the Biden administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) program.   

New enrollment in the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) and Income-Contingent Repayment (ICR) plans programs was halted last summer in an attempt to phase them out and encourage borrowers to sign up for the Biden-Harris administration’s SAVE plan, but now people can sign up once again.

“The Department continues to defend in court the authority to cut payments for borrowers with high debts and low incomes through the SAVE Plan,” U.S. Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal said in a statement. “In the meantime, we are making more options available to low-income borrowers, teachers, servicemembers, and other public servants so they can make the best choices for their financial situation.”

The two reinstated plans offer credit for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) and income-driven repayment (IDR). Monthly payments are set by a borrower’s earnings, family size and allow borrowers to earn forgiveness after “extended periods of payments,” the DOE says.

“Many public servants use them to keep their monthly payments low as they work to earn PSLF after 10 years,” a DOE press release said.

While SAVE is tied up in court, borrowers do not owe payments on their loans and the loans are not accruing interest, but they are also not getting credit towards PSLF or making “progress toward satisfying IDR plans.”

Borrowers on the SAVE litigation hold should not consider switching since they currently are not accruing interest, a Forbes report noted. However, borrowers closer to achieving loan forgiveness through PSLF, close to the 120-payment mark or those eligible for PSLF buyback may want to consider it, the media outlet says.

PAYE and ICR new enrollments will be open until July 1, 2027, the DOE says. 

More information for borrowers can be found on the DOE website.
