Trump student-loan court calls check private lender gains as PSLF knocked down

WASHINGTON - Federal judges handed President Donald Trump two setbacks on his student-loan plans: public servants can still pursue loan forgiveness claims, and some graduate health students will for now keep access to higher federal loan limits. The key number is the $100,000 gap. Federal rules now set most grad borrowing at $100,000, but professional degrees can go as high as $200,000. Shifting a program to professional status cuts back the private-loan need after Grad PLUS borrowing ends for new students.

Student loan SAVE delay shifts investor focus to $485 billion forbearance pool

Trump’s team is taking longer to push borrowers out of the SAVE student-loan repayment plan, shifting a big part of federal loans back onto staggered repayment. That delays the immediate payment spike for borrowers, but leaves servicers, private lenders and credit investors facing more months of limbo. Scale is the driver here. In March, the Education Department said 7.5 million borrowers were in SAVE. The latest Federal Student Aid update, posted June 23, reported 8.4 million had at least one loan in forbearance as of March 31—covering about $485 billion in federal student loans. These aren’t exact matches, but the SAVE number comes close to nine-tenths of the forbearance total.
