Starting August 1, student loan interest will resume for 7.7 million borrowers enrolled in the SAVE plan, potentially increasing monthly payments by $300 and leading to additional annual costs exceeding $3,500. With the end of the interest-free pause, many borrowers are feeling overwhelmed and seeking assistance. Lawmakers, including Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Greg Casar, are calling on the administration to reverse the recent $27 billion hike in interest charges. Borrowers are urged to review their repayment options to avoid significant financial strains as they navigate this change.
