We’re standing at the edge of a major financial cliff that no one is ready for. Student loan forgiveness is happening at unprecedented rates — $138 billion and counting. Right now, borrowers are enjoying tax-free forgiven student loan debt courtesy of the American Rescue Plan. However, these benefits are set to expire at the end of 2025, leaving borrowers to face a tax cliff with unknown consequences.
We’ll explore the legal skirmishes already bubbling, like the Kansas Attorney General’s case against the SAVE plan, and analyzing their impact and preparing for the potential scenarios ahead. I’ll also highlight the vital deadlines you need to know, like the expiring IDR waiver and the barrier to new entrants for the Pay As You Earn plan that’s coming up in July 2024.
