The SAVE plan is officially gone, giving you 90 days to switch or face way higher payments. Parent PLUS loans are now capped at $20K/year and $65K total, with new borrowers stuck on standard repayment. Graduate students face new borrowing limits: $20.5K/year, $100K lifetime max; professional students: $50K/year, $200K lifetime. Grad PLUS loans are completely eliminated. Experts warn: if you’re on SAVE, act now—don’t let your servicer auto-enroll you into a plan that could wreck your budget. Check your options before deadlines pass.
