📢 IMPORTANT STUDENT LOAN UPDATE (Please Read & Share)
Federal student loans are officially back in full force — and major changes are happening right now.
Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 Payments are required again.
The pandemic pause is over. If you have federal student loans, repayment is active.
🔹 Collections are restarting.
Borrowers in default may face wage garnishment, tax refund seizures, and Social Security offsets starting in early 2026.
🔹 Some forgiveness plans are gone.
Several Biden-era programs (including SAVE) have been blocked or ended. Many borrowers are being moved into new repayment plans — often with higher monthly payments.
🔹 New repayment rules are coming.
A federal overhaul takes effect in mid-2026, changing income-based repayment options and future borrowing limits.
🔹 Forgiveness still exists — but it’s limited.
Programs like Public Service Loan Forgiveness still apply, but only if requirements are strictly met.
⚠️ What you should do now:
✔️ Contact your loan servicer if you’re behind
✔️ Explore income-based repayment or consolidation options
✔️ Act early if you’re in default — waiting can cost you money
📌 Don’t ignore student loans right now. Enforcement is ramping up, and the consequences are real.
👉 Share this with someone who has student loans. It could save them from garnishment or default.
