Trump student loan repayment rules
Definition
A series of policies and regulatory changes implemented by the Trump administration (particularly in 2025-2026) governing the repayment of federal student loans, including the termination of the Biden-era SAVE plan, introduction of a $10 minimum monthly payment, income-based payments ranging from 1% to 10% of adjusted gross income, and caps on new graduate student loans at $20,500 annually.
These rules, often associated with legislation like the 'Big Bill' or OBBBA, aim to simplify repayment options while eliminating certain income-driven plans, leaving primarily Income-Based Repayment (IBR) and Revised Pay As You Earn (REPAYE) for existing borrowers.
