According to the Department of Education, a slim majority of the 22 million borrowers of student loans with installments due immediately upon resumption have made their first payment.

Why it matters: Debtors are still perplexed by the process even months after student loan payments were resumed following a pandemic break of several years.

By the numbers: data released this month by Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal shows that 60% of student loan borrowers with payments due in October made those by mid-November.

As a result, there are now close to 9 million debtors who have not made payments.
Yes, but: Up until autumn, borrowers are protected by the 12-month on-ramp period.

“Until September of next year, borrowers will not be subject to the strictest penalties for late payments, including default, delinquency, and required collections,” Kvaal wrote.

Zoom out: Since payments have resumed, more people than before the pandemic have come to the nonprofit Student Debt Crisis Center with inquiries, according to its president and founder, Natalia Abrams.

The organization recently assigned a dedicated staff member to manage all inquiries from delinquent borrowers due to the overwhelming volume of inquiries—even from industry insiders.

Close up: Sabrina Calazans, the managing director of the center, applied to the SAVE Plan, the income-driven repayment plan of President Biden’s administration, and was placed into administrative forbearance, which is paused repayment with 0% interest.

Even with the knowledge she has gained from working for the organization, she was unable to understand why.
She declared, “I completed everything on time.” “I get to it.

Borrowers can reduce their payments by undergoing a laborious process known as “double consolidation”.
As per the guidelines provided by the Massachusetts Attorney General, the deadline for consolidating in order to gain access to SAVE is July 1, 2025.

Notable: The Biden administration is developing regulations to offer additional relief, having already wiped out nearly $132 billion in debt for over 3.6 million borrowers.

However, a survey conducted this month revealed that young voters believe he has done “too little” in regards to student loans.
