Restore the SAVE Student Loan Repayment Plan

To: Sen. Gillibrand, Sen. Schumer, Rep. Tonko

From: A verified voter in Ballston Spa, NY

April 6

I need you to take immediate action to restore the SAVE student loan repayment plan. Borrowers like me are being forced off this affordable program, and the transition has been chaotic and financially devastating. The SAVE plan provided a pathway to manageable monthly payments based on income. Without it, thousands of borrowers face payments we cannot afford, pushing us toward default and financial ruin. This isn't just about policy—it's about real people trying to stay afloat while honoring our obligations. The removal of SAVE has created mass confusion with no clear guidance on what comes next. We need Congress to act now to reinstate this program or provide an equivalent income-driven repayment option that actually works. Borrowers kept our end of the deal. Now we need our government to keep theirs.
