The White House has extended the critical deadline for student loan consolidation to June 30. This extension is a significant opportunity for borrowers seeking loan forgiveness through the Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) programs.
The previous deadline was April 30, and based on what we are hearing from the advisors on the Finology Software platform as well monitoring on twitter (X), Reddit, Tik Tok and other online communities where consumers congregate with peers for financial advice, many federal borrowers are still confused about the new SAVE plan. The questions range from consolidation pros and cons, and how to take advantage of the range of capabilities the Executive Branch and Department of Education are taking to reduce the burden of student debt on American but there is a lack of tools to help identify these benefits. As a financial advisor, you have a fiduciary responsibility — and a unique market opportunity — to guide younger, early-career, and often high-potential clients through these changes. With nearly $50 billion already forgiven for close to one million borrowers, the urgency has never been higher.
