When federal student loan payments finally restart in the fall, the Biden administration will offer borrowers some elbow room.

The U.S. Department of Education will institute a 12-month “on ramp” to repayment, which will run from Oct. 1, 2023, to Sept. 30, 2024. During that period, borrowers will be shielded from the worst consequences of missed payments.

However, borrowers will be spared from many of the usual consequences of missing a payment until October of next year.

For example, loans will not go into default and delinquencies will not be reported to credit reporting agencies, said higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz. Late fees won’t be charged, either.

This clown really is astonishing. He's going to punt these student loans all the way to the next president and take no action but buy a bunch of votes with empty promises.

Yeah, not gonna wait until my credit gets a hit to start repaying.

I think this might have bigger consequences than they think.

So taxpayer money will not bail out borrowers. Why the long faces regarding credit hits? How does that affect anyone personally?

If after 3 years of pauses you still aren’t ready for repayment, what is this 12 month period on-ramp going to do?

Not penalize the people who couldn’t make the payments anyway? So they get another year of no payments without calling it a pause

Whatever

Democrats are already turning these things into 2024 election issues while Republicans are still worried about crowd sizes and polls.

Since COVID, has interest been accumulating on these student loans, or did they defer interest too?

Also, are interest rates tied to the FED Funds rate or are they fixed depending on when the loan was taken out?

Some may be in for a shock when their interest rates have gone from 1-3% to closer to 5-8% with the Biden interest rate hikes.

This is a horrible idea. Interest starts back up in a couple months so you’d be screwing yourself to not make payments for that long

So the only difference between now and a year from now is interest will accrue?

Have they considered just doing away with interest? They’ll get the loans back, borrowers get some taken off and the feds then finally get out of the loan business.

They’ve kicked this can down the road so many times that it’s going to be an absolute nightmare to restart. Most people who were paying their loans have completely written their monthly payments out of their budget. Getting hit with that monthly bill at a time when the economy is shaky will be rough for a lot of people. I don’t think they’re done yet with extending the payment deferrals

Pay your loans. Just get it over with.

Daddy government won’t be helping you, especially if you earn a decent salary.

The worse will get worse. As someone said, debt holders will likely continue deferring payment. So, for 3 years, they refused to pay down the principal interest free. Now some will continue to defer, but this time the interest will accrue. No delinquencies, defaults or late fees doesn't mean no interest. More "woe is me" is to come. SMDH.
