What the end of the SAVE plan means for millions of student loan borrowers
This week, the Trump administration announced a proposed settlement with the state of Missouri that said it would end the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan — upending the repayment plans of millions of student loan borrowers across the country.
Initially, President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill had set the student loan repayment plan's expiration date as July 1, 2028. However, the new deal, which is pending court approval, would end it even sooner than expected.
The Department of Education said it will not enroll any new borrowers in the SAVE plan, will deny any pending SAVE applications, and will transition all SAVE borrowers into available repayment plans.
What is SAVE?
The SAVE plan, an income-driven student loan repayment program, was introduced by the Biden administration in 2023 as a way to make payments more manageable for borrowers by reducing monthly payments based on income and family size. It also aimed to prevent loan interest from skyrocketing for borrowers with lower monthly payments and fast-tracked loan forgiveness for certain low-income borrowers.
