SAVE plan is toast and your student loan bill is about to skyrocket
If you are one of the millions holding your breath over student debt, the news just went from bad to worse.
So, the SAVE plan is effectively dying. Starting in July, the government is going to start nudging folks off it and onto new plans. The kicker? If you don't act fast once you get the notice, you’re getting dumped onto a standard plan that could easily cost ten times more than what you're paying now.
The system is a total mess right now. There is a massive glitch on the federal site where married couples are getting their payments doubled because the site fails to split the bill based on income. You are basically paying for both spouses at the full rate if you aren't careful.
Even worse, oversight is basically non-existent. Staffing cuts under the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk mean nobody is checking if these massive loan companies like Nelnet or Mohela are actually playing by the rules. We are talking about companies that have a history of losing records and keeping people in the wrong plans.
The math just doesn't work for real life anymore. People built budgets expecting one number, and now they are looking at a massive hike while groceries and rent keep climbing. It is a perfect storm for a new wave of defaults.
Nothing says fiscal responsibility like forcing people into bankruptcy over a broken website glitch.
