The US Education Department sent new notices to student loan borrowers last week. These notices tell up to 7.5 million borrowers to change their repayment plans. If they do not act, the department will automatically move them to a different plan.
The notice tells borrowers they are in the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan. But a court order ended the SAVE plan. Borrowers must choose a new repayment plan soon. The notice warns them this clearly.
These new notices put pressure on borrowers to take action. However, they do not need to act right away. The 90-day period to change plans has not started yet. Notices will not be sent until July 1.
Some groups say the emails are a way to scare borrowers. They advise borrowers to wait until they receive official notices. Other groups say borrowers will need to change plans soon. They recommend switching plans if borrowers can afford it.
There may also be many new applications for repayment plans this summer. Some borrowers may want to act now to avoid delays. The Education Department warns of a backlog of applications.
