Tell us: how you have been impacted by the change to US student loan repayments?

The online application form for several popular student debt repayment plans, such as income-driven repayment plans (IDR), have been taken down by the Donald Trump administration.

Applications for IDRs, which cap what borrowers must pay each month at a percent of their earnings, are unavailable on the US Department of Education website.

The quiet removal came after a federal appeals court decision earlier this week that continued a pause on Joe Biden’s Save program, an income-driven plan for loan forgiveness that would have forgiven debts after as few as 10 years of payments.

If you have been impacted by the recent change in student loan repayment options, we would like to hear from you.
