Listen Later

Student loans are still in a state of chaos, and Meredith Jones, DVM, CSLP®, AFC® is here to help you make sense of it all. From court rulings to sweeping legislative proposals, borrowers are facing a confusing and rapidly evolving landscape. Whether you're pursuing forgiveness, considering switching repayment plans, or just trying to keep your head above water, this episode helps you understand what’s happening now, what could be coming, and what actions (if any) veterinarians and vet students should take.

Key topics:

  • The status of the SAVE plan and what borrowers should consider if switching to IBR

  • What’s actually in the House reconciliation bill—aka the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

  • How the proposed RAP plan could impact veterinarians specifically

  • What changes might be coming to PSLF, Grad PLUS, and borrowing limits for future vet students

  • Why panicking (or refinancing) is not the move right now

  • One overlooked benefit in the bill that could help borrowers long term
