Important Announcements

On Dec. 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education announced a proposed settlement agreement that would end the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan. The settlement must be approved by the court before it can be implemented. Borrowers can use the Loan Simulator to begin exploring other repayment options. For more information, visit StudentAid.gov/courtactions.

On Oct. 30, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education published final Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program regulations that will be effective on July 1, 2026. We’ll provide updates when the regulations are implemented. For now, there are no impacts to borrowers, payment counts, or discharges. 

Visit StudentAid.gov/publicservice for more information about PSLF and current program requirements. 

For more information about employer eligibility, visit StudentAid.gov/pslf/employer-search.
