Details about the new student loan repayment plan are finally here. It's called SAVE, and it stands for Saving on a Valuable Education. I'm uncovering crucial details about the new plan and how it's replacing the existing REPAYE plan. It's the biggest change to student loans we've seen, and it has the potential to simplify student loan repayment and save borrowers thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'll dive deep into the details, discussing recent changes, strategic applications, and the impact on Public Service Loan Forgiveness.

In today's episode, you'll find out:

• How to get a 12-month forbearance period after payments start with the Biden administration's new rule

• How the "special onramp forbearance" can strategically benefit borrowers
• An example where a brain surgeon with a significant student loan balance can be eligible for forgiveness
• How the COVID forbearance allows credit toward a 20 or 25-year repayment plan and PSLF
• What are the impacts of the recent changes to consolidation rules, and how it affects undergrad borrowers
