New Official FAQs
The U.S. Department of Education recently posted in-depth Q&As on both Income-Based Repayment and Public Service Loan Forgiveness to their website. While some of the topics are also covered in our FAQ, we highly recommend that you read the Department’s as well if you have any questions about IBR or PSLF. We strongly encouraged the Department to provide this important information, and we’re very pleased that clear and thorough official answers to common questions are now available.

Obama Proposes IBR Improvements
President Obama's FY 2010-11 budget will include a provision to improve IBR, making student loan repayment more affordable for people who are struggling. The proposal would expand the number of people who are eligible for the program, and make it even more helpful for those who already qualify. Stay tuned for more details and opportunities to take action and help make this a reality.

For more information, see our statement about the new proposal.
