Supreme Court Strikes Down Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Plan
Five Key Takeaways for Borrowers
1. No Immediate Loan Repayments
Despite the ruling, borrowers will not face immediate loan repayments. The court's decision does not automatically trigger loan repayments. The Biden administration has stated that it will continue to pause payments while exploring other options.
2. Previous Payments Remain Valid
Any payments made towards student loans during the payment pause will remain valid. Borrowers will not receive refunds for payments made during this period.
3. Consider Refinancing Options
With the forgiveness plan now struck down, borrowers may want to explore refinancing options to lower interest rates and monthly payments. Refinancing may be an attractive option for those with good credit scores.
4. Seek Income-Driven Repayment
If refinancing is not an option, borrowers can consider income-driven repayment plans. These plans adjust monthly payments based on income, potentially reducing the repayment burden.
5. Contact Your Loan Servicer
Borrowers with questions or concerns should contact their loan servicer. Loan servicers can provide information on repayment options and available assistance programs.
