Nearly half a million federal student loan borrowers will be denied access to lower repayment options, according to a report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Per internal Education Department documents reported by Politico, the income-based repayment proposal, known as the “SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education) Plan, was introduced by former President Biden in 2023 and capped payments at 5% of discretionary income for undergraduates and 10% for graduate loans. The goal was to make student loan repayment more affordable, especially for low- and middle-income borrowers.<\/p>\n

The plan was blocked by the courts in 2024, and it\u2019s been in legal limbo since, with interest set to start accruing again under court order from next month.<\/p>\n

TRUMP’S ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ CRACKS DOWN ON BIDEN’S STUDENT LOAN ‘SCHEME,’ TOP REPUBLICAN SAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is separate from Biden\u2019s student loan forgiveness plan, which sought to erase nearly $500 billion worth of student loans, affecting more than 40 million Americans. The Supreme Court struck down that plan as unconstitutional, ruling that such widespread debt cancellation required congressional approval.<\/p>\n

However, that ruling resulted in Biden immediately pivoting to launching the SAVE Plan as a fallback.<\/p>\n

The income-based repayment proposal under the SAVE Plan impacts around 460,000 federal student loan borrowers who have signed up for it, according to the Politico report. In total, nearly 8 million borrowers are enrolled in the SAVE Plan and have been in general forbearance, meaning they are not required to make monthly payments and no interest on their loans is accruing.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has repeatedly criticized SAVE as overly generous and fiscally irresponsible.<\/p>\n

A July 18 policy letter from the department confirms that the SAVE Plan has been officially phased out and replaced under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.<\/p>\n

“Loan servicers cannot process these applications as SAVE is no longer an option, as it is illegal,” the department said in a statement to the Politico.<\/p>\n

Fox Business has reached out to the White House and the Education Department for additional comment.<\/p>\n

TRUMP ADMIN RESUMING INTEREST CHARGES FOR NEARLY 8M STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS AFTER BIDEN’S LIMBO<\/strong><\/p>\n

In place of SAVE, the Education Department is rolling out two new repayment plans as part of a broader overhaul under President Donald Trump\u2019s Big Beautiful Bill, which aims to simplify the student loan system and curb costs to taxpayers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two new plans include a revised 10-year standard repayment plan and a new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), which ties payments to a simplified income formula.<\/p>\n

The Department of Education last week said “millions of borrowers enrolled in the Biden Administration\u2019s SAVE Plan [are] based on the false promise of loan cancellation and zero monthly payments, despite multiple federal courts striking down such policies.”<\/p>\n

“The Biden administration also invented a zero-percent \u2018litigation forbearance,\u2019 forcing taxpayers to foot the bill and leaving borrowers without clear direction on how to legally repay their loans,” the department said.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration, meanwhile, vowed to “support borrowers in selecting a new, legal repayment plan that best fits their needs and helps them get on a sustainable financial path while protecting American taxpayers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
