March 23, 2026Reminders for New Yorkers with SNAP Work Requirements
March 31, 2026Starting on July 1, federal loan servicers will begin issuing notices to
borrowers, instructing them to exit the SAVE Plan and enroll in a different
repayment plan within 90 days. Borrowers who do not transition plans within
the 90 days communicated by their servicer will be automatically enrolled into either the
Standard Repayment Plan or the new Tiered Standard Plan that will be available beginning
July 1. Servicers will notify borrowers of their specific 90-day deadline.
The 90-day period provides borrowers time to explore repayment options that best suit their
needs and plan accordingly. A borrower who wishes to transition before their loan servicer
communicates a specific 90-day deadline may contact their servicer at any time to enroll in a
lawful repayment plan.
For more information, please see the U.S. Department of Education’s press release.
