The Biden administration announced a new plan, dubbed the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, that will offer income-based relief to student loan borrowers.
The White House is calling the SAVE plan “the most affordable student loan plan ever” and says it expects it to reduce the monthly payments of many borrowers to zero.
Additionally, President Joe Biden’s administration says it expects the SAVE plan to save other borrowers around $1,000 per year and prevent balances from growing due to unpaid interest.
“The Biden-Harris Administration believes that education beyond high school should unlock doors to opportunity, not leave borrowers stranded with debt they cannot afford,” the White House says in a statement.
SAVE plan calculates student loan payments on family size, income, White House says
The SAVE plan calculates payments based on both a borrower’s income and their family size, according to the Biden administration, which estimates the program could benefit more than 20 million borrowers.
“The benefits of the SAVE plan will be particularly critical for low- and middle-income borrowers, community college students and borrowers who work in public service,” the White House says.
The Biden administration, which says it has already canceled more than $116 billion in student loan debt for 3.4 million Americans, says the SAVE plan aims to build on actions already taken by the administration to “deliver relief to student loan borrowers.”
The Department of Education (DOE), meanwhile, with the help of grassroots organizations, is set to launch an outreach campaign called “SAVE on Student Debt” that aims to encourage borrowers to sign up for the plan, according to the White House.
“The outreach campaign will build on the direct outreach underway by the (DOE) and Federal Student Aid to ensure borrowers know about the SAVE plan and other programs to help them access debt relief,” the White House says.
The DOE announced last month that it would forgive $39 billion in federal student loans for more than 800,000 borrowers who are on income-driven repayment plans.

There should be a huge lawsuit or classaction suit being pursued as borrowers under income driven repayment loans were not only promised forgiveness for time in this status but in order to benefit were forced to consolidate our current federal loans into one “new large” loan. Now save plan failed, yet supposed to honor the consolidation stipulations anyways, stuck making large one lump sum unaffordable payments under new terms.
Please let’s get something started, this is wrong and are still expected to keep the consolidation even with plan being canceled/denied.
I’m so tired of being screwed around. I’ve paid my time and I make crap because I work in the public service sector. The constant changes and losing my paperwork and having to resubmit it is exhausting just to know that barely 1% of people ever get forgiveness. It’s all a scam. The cost of college is a scam, the loan forgiveness is a scam, the income driven is a scam. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never went to college!!! I spend time now educating young people on other options and opportunities as well staying away from student loans!!!! It’s a horrible joke and we are not the ones laughing we are the expense.
I am so exhausted from being in a PSLF and income driven plan and not receiving forgiveness after 10yrs. My loan servicer company has changed multiple times and I am constantly having to resubmit documentation because they lost it. I was recently told by Mohelo that I should do the SAVE Plan. At this point I just want to pretend I didn’t go to college or get student loans but unfortunately it affects my credit and finances!
