Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called on the Trump administration to address delays in student loan repayment and forgiveness applications. She cited Department of Education data showing more than 640,000 borrowers are waiting for decisions.
Gillibrand called for relief for New York borrowers and urged the Trump administration to address a backlog of repayment and loan-forgiveness applications. She cited Department of Education data indicating that more than 640,000 borrowers are waiting for applications to be approved, and said interest is accumulating while applicants wait.
The article says the SAVE Plan, created under the Biden administration to lower monthly payments, was repealed by the Trump administration earlier this year. It reports that more than 7 million borrowers enrolled in the plan were placed in forbearance, though their loans continued accruing interest, and that the plan is set to be phased out by July 1, 2028.
