Is the federal government going to forgive student loans or extend the pause?

The short answer is that it is currently unknown as of August 1, 2022.

When I hear anything, I will let you know.

The following is an article from the Wallstreet Journal.

Biden Administration Is Ready To Implement Mass Student Loan Forgiveness, As Decision Could Come Any Day

Adam S. Minsky Senior Contributor

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 28: U.S. President Joe Biden gestures as he delivers remarks on the Inflation ...

The Education Department is reportedly prepared to swiftly implement mass student loan forgiveness — if President Biden decides to approve such an initiative. But so far, Biden has remained undecided. Here’s where things stand.

As first reported by POLITICO, the Education Department has created systems and procedures to move quickly in implementing a broad student loan forgiveness initiative, if and when Biden gives the word. This includes a contingency if Biden imposes income restrictions on student loan forgiveness eligibility, which officials have suggested could be part of any such initiative. Here are some key elements:

Some borrowers whose income information is already on file with the Education Department may be able to get student loan forgiveness automatically, potentially within months of any announcement.

Borrowers who don’t have their income information on file with the Department may be able to quickly self-certify their income on a simple application form, with the Department doing a small number of audits to verify borrowers’ information.

The Education Department is prepared to implement federal student loan forgiveness for nearly any kind of federal loan, including Graduate PLUS loans, commercially-held FFEL loans, and Parent PLUS loans, if Biden approves such broad relief. It’s unclear if Direct loan consolidation would be necessary to qualify.

For borrowers who have loan balances left over following the application of student loan forgiveness, the Department may be able to re-amortize the loan based on the remaining reduced balance, leading to lower monthly payments for some borrowers on Standard, Extended, or Graduated repayment plans.

Of course, none of these details are final — they are plans contingent on President Biden deciding to use executive action to enact broad student loan forgiveness. And the White House has repeatedly said that he has not yet made a final decision.

Biden pledged to support $10,000 in student loan forgiveness for every borrower during his 2020 campaign for president, but he has hedged on using executive action (rather than Congressional legislation) to implement it. Biden has seemingly warmed to the idea in recent months, but he has delayed a final decision. He recently told reporters he would decide before the end of August.

Advocates had been pushing Biden to cancel a larger amount of student debt, and many progressive Democrats had hoped Biden would cancel $50,000 or more for every borrower, with universal eligibility and no income caps. Advocates have warned that imposing eligibility rules could lead to bureaucratic delays, errors, and complications.

But Biden has bristled at universal student loan cancellation. Recent reports suggest that he would be more comfortable with $10,000 in student loan forgiveness, limited to borrowers earning $125,000 per year or less.

Mass student loan forgiveness isn’t the only major student loan decision on Biden’s plate. The ongoing student loan pause — which has suspended payments and interest on most federal student loans for over two years — is set to end in four weeks. Speculation is growing that he will extend the payment pause, but no decision has yet been announced.

Biden will also need to decide whether to extend other expiring student loan relief initiatives, including the popular but under-utilized Limited PSLF Waiver, and a broad IDR Account Adjustment that may dramatically accelerate student loan forgiveness for millions of borrowers.

Biden May Extend Student Loan Pause Into Next Year And Is Considering Other Relief, Including Loan Forgiveness

Federal Educational Loan pause extended again (December 22, 2021)

It's almost like Forest Gump saying, "The federal government extended the Educational Loan pause, AGAIN."

The COVID-19 emergency relief for federal student loans was supposed to end Jan. 31, 2022, however the federal government extended the loan pause through May 1, 2022.

Here is what this means.

If your student is a current freshman college student 2021-2022, no interest and no payments are required. Then after May 1, the loans may come due. And I say “may” because there is a possibility the federal government may extend the pause even beyond May 1, 2022. There is even talk of some federal educational loan forgiveness. Nothing is set or signed regarding federal educational loan forgiveness. I will keep my eyes and ears open and let you know if/when any new information comes out.

For current college students and graduated college students with federal educational loans, no interest and no payments are required until May 1, 2022.

This is a nice Christmas gift for those who have federal educational loans including the federal student loans and federal parent PLUS loan. No payments and no interest during this pause period.

It might be prudent to take out these federal student loans. Each family and each student needs to be looked at individually to create the best aid package strategy.

NEW FAFSA CHANGES ARE COMING FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 2023-2024

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will undergo significant revisions soon, and college financial advisors and their families need to be aware of these changes. Congress passed these new laws in their 2021 pandemic relief appropriations bill, which will begin in the 2023-2024 (for current high school sophomores) school year. The intent is to improve the student’s financial aid predictability in the future.

Here’s a summary of these FAFSA changes:

FAFSA SIMPLIFICATION

The biggest change is the simplification of the FAFSA application form. The current 2021-2022 FAFSA form has 106 questions. Under the new laws, the FAFSA will be reduced to 36 questions.

The Department of Education intends to simplify the financial aid application by correlating it with the IRS’s income tax regulations. The FAFSA income questions will be transferred directly from the family’s tax returns to make it easier to complete the FAFSA. Many families already use the federal Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) when they file the current online FAFSA.

The FAFSA simplification Act of 2021 can be found here on page 1,956

https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hr133/BILLS-116hr133enr.pdf

ELIMINATION OF THE EXPECTED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION (EFC)

The new FAFSA rules will also eliminate the phrase Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from the financial aid application. The EFC determines how much money a family can expect to pay for one year of college. The new law will replace the EFC with a new term – Student Aid Index (SAI).

The Student Aid Index (SAI) will become an "eligibility index" for distributing financial aid, not the dollar amount a family can pay for college expenses (EFC).

The SAI would determine the student eligibility for all Title IV student aid, EXCEPT the maximum and minimum Pell Grant awards. Pell Grants will now be based instead on the number of parents in the student household and the family income as a percentage of the federal poverty level for the student's household size. This Pell Grant change will create a look-up table that families can use to anticipate future Pell Grant eligibility far in advance of applying to college.

MULTIPLE CHILDREN IN COLLEGE

The new SAI formula will no longer give households with multiple children in college a significant break on their financial aid eligibility. Currently, parents who have more than one child in college at the same time have their EFC cut by almost 50% for each child. The new formula eliminates this calculation.

INCOME PROTECTION ALLOWANCE

The SAI formula also removes the state and other tax income exclusion and increases the parental income protection allowance (IPA). The IPA now includes only the number of members in the family household. However, it will increase by about 20%. The student income protection allowance, which is $6,970 in 2021-2022, will be about 30% higher in 2023-2024. This change reduces the SAI significantly for dependent students.

ASSETS

The income threshold for determining whether an applicant is exempt from reporting assets (the simplified financial aid formula) will increase $10,000 from $49,999 to $59,999. The SAI formula also eliminates the family farm and small business asset exclusions. This new ruling means that families would have to report the net value of any business or farm they own if they did not qualify for the $59,999 simplified formula that excludes assets from consideration.

DIVORCED AND SEPARATED FAMILIES

Currently, the divorced/separated parent that the student lives with more than 50% of the school year is the parent that files the FAFSA application form. If the FAFSA is filed on Oct. 1, 2022, for the 2023-2024 school year, you’d look back and see who the child lived with in the year 2021. A typical financial aid strategy would be for the student to live with the parent who makes the least amount of income during 2021. However, under the new FAFSA rules, the parent who claims the child on the tax return (provides the most financial support to the child) will complete the FAFSA.

Also, child support received would be moved from untaxed income and added to parental assets.

GRANDPARENT GIVING

The FAFSA overhaul will make it easy for grandparents or others outside of the immediate family to pay for college costs without jeopardizing the family’s financial aid. This FAFSA change will ignore whether grandparents or others have given money to a child to pay for college costs. The FAFSA will no longer ask this question.

When grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, or others outside the immediate family help with college costs, the money is currently treated as the child’s untaxed income, which is assessed at up to 50% by the EFC formula. In other words, distributions from a grandparent-owned 529 will no longer count as income for the child (current FAFSA question 44i).

CONCLUSION ABOUT THE FAFSA

The FAFSA and CSS Profile are very complex financial aid applications, and parents across the country continue to pay for college without understanding these complicated aid forms. Helping your clients understand these new, upcoming FAFSA changes will help them avoid costly mistakes and put the student in the right college for the lowest possible cost.

PA - Physician Assistant

The Bureau of Labor Statistics, Physician Assistant PA positions are expected to grow 31% through 2029, a rate well above almost any other medical profession. Traditionally, these programs take 2-3 years to complete as a graduate student, however, accelerated dual degree programs allow students to begin their Physician’s Assistant coursework after just three years of undergraduate coursework, knocking off a full year of study.

Federal Educational Student Loans, Parent PLUS Loan UPDATE

The federal government just announced an extension to the currently deferred federal student loans.

“Federal student loan repayment suspension and 0% interest rate have been extended through at least January, 31 2022.”

Back in March 2020, the federal government began providing temporary relief on ED-owned federal student loans: suspension of loan payments, stopped collections on defaulted loans, and set a 0% interest rate.

Basically, this means, if you have a federal student loan, no interest will accumulate during the deferral period and the current interest rate is temporarily set to zero % and no payments are required during the relief period.

If your student is starting college in the next few weeks or continuing college this fall 2021, accepting the federal student loans might be something to consider.

Here is my reasoning on this.

The maximum amount of federal educational loans that a college freshman will be offered is $5500. Within this, two loans could be offered, the Federal Subsidized Loan and the Federal Unsubsidized Loan.

Under normal conditions, both loans are deferred, meaning no payment is required during the deferral period. Typically, these loans are deferred for 4 1/2 years. The thought is, the student takes 4 years to graduate college, then takes six months to find a job, then payments for these loans begin.

During this deferral period, no interest will accumulate for the Federal Subsidized Loan. Interest will accumulate during the deferral period for the Unsubsidized loan.

With this current moratorium, the unsubsidized loan acts like the subsidized loan and no interest will be added to the loan during this temporary pause.

If you had the money to pay for college and did not need any of these loans, it might be something to consider accepting these loans, at least temporarily. Then on February 1, 2022, pay off the loan when the moratorium expires. During the next 5-6 months, keep the money that you were going to pay for college in an interest-bearing account. Pay the loan off and keep the interest.

Loans that are currently in this temporary pause are: Federal Student Subsidized Loans, Federal Student Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Parent PLUS Loan, Graduate PLUS Loan.
