Questions about Loan Repayment? New Resource from U.S. Dept. of Ed.
Equal Justice Works just posted about a new Q&A resource from the U.S. Department of Education explaining how income-based repayment (IBR) works to help alleviate student loan debt. IBR is a critical part of the 2007 College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which also includes provisions for student loan forgiveness for people engaged in public service careers. You can learn more about IBR, CCRAA, and student loan management through Equal Justice Works’ resources (linked to in their post) and the resources on the PSLawNet Financing a Public Interest Career page.
