11+ min ago (615+ words) The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the federal student loan repayment plan known as SAVE, the last remnant of the Biden-era effort to provide large-scale student debt relief. The states argued that the Biden administration exceeded its authority when it created SAVE in 2023, a program that offered millions of borrowers lower monthly payments and an accelerated path to debt erasure. SAVE, described by the Biden administration as the "most affordable repayment plan ever," allowed borrowers who originally took out $12,000 or less to have their debts forgiven after 10 years of qualifying payments. It also calculated monthly bills based on a small percentage of a borrower's income, reducing payments to as low as zero dollars for millions. Since its debut, the plan had canceled $1.2 billion in federal student loan debt owed by more than 150,000 borrowers. That relief ended in spring 2024 when…...

"I don't feel like there was misinformation being spread in the community," Bowersock said, but a different…...
