Update as of June 2023:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Federal student loan payments will resume October 2023\u2014with interest starting back September 1, 2023.\n <\/p>\n

Student loan relief is making headlines once more because\u2014you guessed it\u2014the government extended the pause on student loan payments. Yep. Again.\n <\/p>\n

Now, you might be sitting there thinking,\u00a0Hooray! No student loan payments for me yet!<\/em>\u00a0But hold up. Even though the deadline has been extended (for the eighth time, but who\u2019s counting?), you could be expected to start paying back your student loans sooner than you think.<\/em>\u00a0\n <\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019ve been avoiding looking at your student loan account since early 2020, now\u2019s the time to get your budget ready for when those payments start back up again. We\u2019ll dive into all the reasons why, but first, let\u2019s look at what exactly is going on with the student loan payment pause.\n <\/p>\n

When Will the Student Loan Payment Pause End?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the latest news: Student loan relief has been extended through no later than June 30, 2023.1<\/sup> Why another<\/em> extension\u2014especially after President Biden swore up and down that things would start back up in January 2023? <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Well, Biden was really banking on his most recent student loan forgiveness plan happening by then. But with several court orders blocking student loan debt relief until further notice, that\u2019s not looking likely. So, to buy borrowers some more time, Biden extended the student loan payment pause until a final decision could be made.\n <\/p>\n

There are several different ways this could play out: Either student loan forgiveness will be approved, or it will be completely shot down (most likely in the Supreme Court). In either case, federal student loan payments will start back 60 days after a decision is made. Or if no decision is made by June 30, 2023, federal student loan payments will automatically start back 60 days after that.\n <\/p>\n

Clear as mud, right? Basically, all you need to know is that <\/strong>federal student loan payments, as well as interest, are still on pause for now.<\/strong> <\/strong>But don\u2019t wait around for this whole forgiveness debacle to get sorted out to take control of your student loans. The time to get ready for it is\u00a0now<\/em>.<\/em>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Why Are Student Loan Payments Paused?<\/h2>\n

Back at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the U.S. government passed\u00a0the CARES Act, which paused monthly payments and stopped interest from stacking up on student loans. People who had lost their jobs or were furloughed were having a hard time making ends meet, so the government put off student loan payments (and interest!) to make things easier on folks. As time\u2019s gone by, our economy and job growth have had ups and downs, and the student loan relief has stuck around.\n <\/p>\n

Will Student Loan Payments Be Paused\u00a0Again<\/em>?<\/h2>\n

This latest extension kicks the can down the road for possibly another six months\u2014which would be the longest extension so far. But will student loan relief be extended\u00a0again\u00a0<\/em>after that?\n <\/p>\n

Payments have been paused for nearly three years. And this is the\u00a0eighth\u00a0<\/em>time it\u2019s been extended. So, we don\u2019t blame you if it\u2019s starting to feel like the boy who cried the end of student loan relief.\n <\/p>\n

But this time is different. Instead of just pushing back the date for another four months, this extension revolves around whatever happens with Biden\u2019s student loan debt relief plan. A decision will have to be made at some point\u2014which means the payment pause will have to end at some point.\n <\/p>\n

So, while it\u2019s always possible it could be pushed back again, you should expect federal student loan payments to start back up as soon as this forgiveness issue is resolved (which could literally be any day).\n <\/p>\n

Should I Wait for Student Loan Forgiveness to Pay Off My Loans for Me?<\/h2>\n

We know what you\u2019re thinking:\u00a0Why would I pay off my student loans when they\u2019re going to be forgiven anyway?<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the deal: Biden\u2019s plan is still very much in the air. And you don\u2019t want to be caught off guard if it doesn\u2019t happen. Plus, even if it does get approved, chances are you\u2019ve got more debt than what will be forgiven.\n <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still on the fence, why not save toward that $10,000 or $20,000 anyway\u2014just in case? That way, if the forgiveness plan falls through, you can still knock out your student loans right then and there. And if your loans actually do get forgiven, you can put that money\u00a0straight into savings\u00a0or use it to\u00a0pay off any other debt\u00a0you may have. It\u2019s a win for you either way!\n <\/p>\n

But don\u2019t wait to pay off the rest of your student loans because you\u2019re banking on them eventually being forgiven too. Why? Because student loan forgiveness\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0<\/em>guaranteed.\n <\/p>\n

Biden may forgive some student loan debt now, but it doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s more to come. Holding out for <\/em>your debt to be forgiven is a big gamble\u2014a risk you can\u2019t afford to take. But by paying off the rest of your student loans as fast as you can (instead of waiting on the White House), you\u2019ll save yourself a ton of time and stress. And a good chunk in interest too.\n <\/p>\n

How to Prepare for the End of Student Loan Relief\u00a0<\/h2>\n

So, what if you have more student loan debt than Biden plans to forgive? Well, you\u2019ll have to start making payments again sometime in 2023. The good news is, you have some time to prepare, so there\u2019s really no excuse to be shocked and surprised when those payments hit again. This is your heads-up.<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

Start Paying Back Your Student Loans\u00a0Now\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0best\u00a0<\/em>thing you can do to prepare for the end of student loan relief is to start making those payments\u00a0right now<\/em>. We know\u2014this sounds pretty weird. Why should you pay your student loan payments if they\u2019re on pause?\u00a0<\/em>Because the interest alone will eat you alive.\n <\/p>\n

Right now, you can keep making those payments and not pay\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>interest. None. Zip. Zero. Nada. Your payment goes directly toward knocking down the principal amount\u2014that\u2019s\u00a0huge<\/em>. The sooner you take advantage of this zero-interest deal, the less you\u2019ll pay in the long run. Trust us,\u00a0now\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0the time to keep up with the payments and make some serious progress on paying toward your student loans!\n <\/p>\n

Budget for Your Student Loan Payment\u00a0<\/h3>\n

If you haven\u2019t been paying on your student loans since early 2020, now\u2019s the time to\u00a0get your budget ready\u00a0to handle your student loan payment again.\n <\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be honest. A lot has happened in the last few years (including\u00a0inflation), and that $400 payment will probably feel heavier than it did before. The good news? There are\u00a0plenty\u00a0of ways to cut back<\/em>\u00a0and get some extra cash in your budget\u2014you just have to look for them.\n <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also have to be\u00a0more on top of your spending\u00a0if you want to be sure you can cover the basics\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0your debt payments.\u00a0Start budgeting for free with EveryDollar\u00a0and make a plan for your money every month.\n <\/p>\n

If You Have Other Types of Debt\u00a0Plus<\/em>\u00a0Your Student Loan Debt<\/h3>\n

With the\u00a0debt snowball, you pay off your debts from smallest to largest. So, if you have other debts (like a car loan) that are less than the amount of your student loan debt, you need to focus on paying off those small debts\u00a0first<\/em>\u00a0while still making the minimum payment on your student loans.\n <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how that debt snowball plays out: Once you totally pay off a debt, take the amount you were paying on it and add that to the amount you\u2019ll pay on the next debt. You\u2019re adding to your snowball and packing it with more cash to knock out your debts one by one as you go.\n <\/p>\n

If You\u00a0Only<\/em>\u00a0Have Student Loan Debt\u00a0<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re in\u00a0Baby Step 2\u00a0(pay off all debt except the house) and the only debt you have is this student loan, then you need to get serious about paying it off. Don\u2019t keep it around like it\u2019s a pet. Get rid of this thing as fast as you can! That means you should pour any extra money you\u2019ve got onto this pile of debt until it\u2019s out of your life\u00a0for good.<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

Make Sure Your Information Is Correct<\/h2>\n

This feels like a weird thing, but if you haven\u2019t paid on your student loans in several years, you\u2019d better make sure your loan servicer has your correct information. A lot can change in that time. Did you get married? Change your last name? Move to a new place? It\u2019s a good idea to double-check that your loan servicer has all your correct info on hand\u00a0before\u00a0<\/em>that first payment is due.\n <\/p>\n

On top of that, make sure you know\u00a0who\u2019s servicing your loan now, because it might have changed in the last two years. For example,\u00a0Navient\u00a0isn\u2019t servicing federal loans anymore.\u00a0<\/sup>All of their loans are now handled by Aidvantage.\n <\/p>\n

Should I Apply for Deferment, Forbearance or Income-Based Repayment?<\/h2>\n

If you think you\u2019ll have trouble making student loan payments when they kick in again, forbearance and income-based repayment are two popular pieces of \u201cadvice\u201d folks will give you. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s good advice. Our documentary,\u00a0Borrowed Future<\/em>,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>dug into this to expose the dark side of the student loan industry. Here\u2019s the truth they don\u2019t want you to know:\n <\/p>\n

Deferment or Forbearance<\/h3>\n

Applying for things like\u00a0deferment\u00a0or\u00a0forbearance\u00a0on your student loans might feel like a Band-Aid to help you out, but it doesn\u2019t fix the problem. All it does is delay things\u2014aka keep you in debt even longer. Plus, once student loan relief ends, your loans will keep growing interest even while they\u2019re in deferment or forbearance. That just means your problem will keep getting bigger and bigger.\n <\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re hoping to defer because you were behind on your student loans before the pause, there\u2019s some good news for you. Back in April 2022, Biden announced a \u201cfresh start\u201d initiative to help borrowers with federal student loans in default.2<\/sup>\u00a0These folks will have the chance to start the repayment process\u00a0back in good standing. But it\u2019s still not clear what\u00a0steps they\u2019ll need to take\u00a0to actually make this happen.\n <\/p>\n

Income-Based Repayment<\/h3>\n

These\u00a0income-based repayment plans\u00a0might look nice at first with their promises of a shiny, new lower monthly student loan payment. But not so fast. They also drag out your loan for\u00a0way\u00a0<\/em>longer. And most of the time, that means you\u2019ll pay\u00a0thousands\u00a0<\/em>more over time. No thanks!\n <\/p>\n

Take Control of Your Student Loans<\/h2>\n

Listen, waiting on the government to solve your problems is never a good idea. Politicians are in the business of making promises they can\u2019t keep. But you don\u2019t have to live your life based on what\u2019s happening in the White House. In fact, you have the power to take control of your student loans yourself<\/em>. It may feel impossible right now, but it\u2019s all about taking one small step at a time. Student loan debt doesn\u2019t have to define you. It\u2019s time to kick those loans to the curb\u2014and get your life back!\n <\/p>\n
