Student Loan Planner

Who Would Switch to the "RAP" Plan?


Listen Later

The Repayment Assistance Plan, aka RAP, is another student loan overhaul, and people have a lot of questions. Learn what this plan actually is, why it matters right now, and the real chances of it becoming law. If you're wondering when or if you could switch to this plan, we've got you covered. The RAP might completely change how student loan repayment works. We're unpacking all the details and what you might want to keep in mind if you've got loans.

Key moments:

(03:55) If you're close to forgiveness, sticking with IBR will probably make more sense (05:16) This administration is rushing student loan changes before finalizing regulatory details (09:59) There's still a long way to go, and some Senators just want to bring back REPAYE (13:08) Graduate professions would lose diversity if only students from wealthy families could afford them
