    I wish they would just finalize this crap. I’m so sick of my loans going in and out of forbearance without warning while they figure this out. This shit impacts the daily lives of so many people. Know how hard it is to make a budget when one of your biggest bills is constantly changing?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But unlike previous plans, Save is based on a smaller portion of a borrower’s adjusted gross income (AGI), making the monthly payments even lower.

    A turbulent ride through the US court system, however, left this back-up plan in legal limbo after two federal judges in Kansas and Missouri temporarily blocked parts of it last week.

    The latest ruling from a three-judge panel on the US court of appeals for the 10th circuit in Denver, Colorado, allows the Biden administration to move forward and fulfill that promise, slashing lower monthly payments from 10% of borrowers’ discretionary income to 5%.

    Department of education secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement: “The US court of appeals for the 10th circuit sided with student loan borrowers across the country who stand to benefit from the Save Plan.

    Borrowers enrolled in Save were put in forbearance for July during litigation and will be expected to begin payments of lower amounts again in August, according to the US education department.

    It’s a blow to some of the 18 Republican-led states that challenged the Biden administration in two separate lawsuits, claiming it was overstepping its authority by unilaterally wiping out loans.

    It pains me that Brandon has actually been an effective president in several really impactful ways, yet he’s likely to lose to trump.
