If you’re trying to get a handle on student loans, check out these messages from our friends at Equal Justice Works:
New REPAYE Plan to Launch in December for All Federal Borrowers
In December, REPAYE – or Revised Pay As You Earn – will become available as another repayment option for your federal student loans.
Like the other income-driven repayment plans, REPAYE ties your monthly payments to your earnings. Payments are capped at 10 percent of your discretionary income.
The big deal about the REPAYE plan is that it will be available to all undergraduate and graduate federal student loan borrowers regardless of when the money was borrowed, and there is no partial financial hardship required to qualify.
There are other key differences between this new plan and other income-driven repayment plans. If you want more information about REPAYE and the other debt relief options available, keep reading!
