## Resource

Federal student loan rules overhaul starting July 1 brings tighter borrowing limits, rising interest rates, and fewer repayment options—especially impacting the SAVE plan’s forgiveness benefit for new loans. Borrowers must now navigate a more rigid system, with less flexibility and greater need for careful planning to avoid unexpected costs. Officials urge immediate review of options via the Department of Education’s resources to ensure you’re not overpaying and that your repayment strategy aligns with your financial reality.
