This temporary bonus, running through June 30, 2028, adds to the existing quarter-point discount for auto pay users. The program, costing the government $6 billion, is part of broader student loan reforms including new grad loan limits and simplified repayment plans. But with auto pay enrollment plummeting from 83% in 2019 to just 40% last year, many borrowers are falling behind — and those affected by the old SAVE plan will soon be required to choose a repayment plan by July 1. To lock in the discount, borrowers must sign up by September 30, 2026, and stay enrolled. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
