The Trump administration has announced significant actions aimed at ending the Biden-era student loan repayment programs, specifically targeting the SAVE plan which affects over 7 million borrowers. Recent settlements and agreements with the Department of Education have formalized the termination of these programs, marking a shift in policy that many believe will impose financial hardships on students struggling to meet their obligations. Borrowers are urged to prepare for the resumption of payments and reassess their options as the payment pause comes to a close amidst soaring delinquencies in states like California.
