In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, Andrew sits down with Robert Farrington to break down everything you need to know about the sweeping federal student loan changes taking effect July 1, 2026, covering the shift to just two repayment plan options for new borrowers, the elimination of SAVE, PAYE, and ICR, the deadlines existing borrowers need to watch before 2028, tighter annual and lifetime borrowing limits, the end of Grad PLUS and Parent PLUS loans as we know them, how enrollment status now affects what you can borrow, where to start when searching for student aid, and whether in-state school is still the smartest financial move for new students.
