Student Loans Thrown Into Disarray As Appeals Court Nukes SAVE Plan
More than 7 million borrowers will be removed from the Biden-era SAVE plan following the Eighth Circuit's order to approve a settlement ending the program early.
- On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit directed a district court to approve President Donald Trump's settlement with the state of Missouri to end the Saving on a Valuable Education plan, reversing a lower court's dismissal.
- GOP-Led states, including Missouri, argued the relief under the SAVE plan was unconstitutional, prompting litigation that blocked the plan since summer 2024.
- More than 7 million borrowers remain enrolled, and the U.S. Department of Education will stop new enrollments, deny pending applications, and move borrowers into existing repayment plans.
- The Education Department said enrolled borrowers will receive "clear guidance" in the coming weeks, and Nicholas Kent said 'The Trump Administration will continue to realign the federal student loan portfolio to better serve students and taxpayers.'
- Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Repayment Assistance Plan starts July 1, 2026, and President Donald Trump phases out SAVE by July 1, 2028, compressing transition timelines.
