SUMMARY: The Biden administration is initiating a student loan forgiveness program ahead of schedule in February under the new SAVE plan. This new repayment plan will benefit borrowers who originally took out $12,000 or less to attend college and have made at least 10 years of payments. Those with higher loan balances will benefit but on an extended timeline. The plan aims to help community college students and provide faster debt relief than previously available income-driven repayment plans.

The Education Department will automatically wipe away balances for eligible borrowers and will send notifications to those who have not enrolled.
