The Department of Education is pushing through the largest student loan overhaul in decades, and borrowers who miss these deadlines could lose money-saving opportunities.
New payment plans, loan types, and temporary relief options are rolling out this month Missoulian reports. Interest rate reductions can meaningfully reduce how much interest piles up over time, letting more of your payment go toward the actual loan balance instead of interest charges.
