The roller coaster ride for borrowers enrolled in a key affordable repayment plan continues.

On Monday, the 8th Circuit directed a district court to approve Donald Trump’s proposed settlement with the state of Missouri to eliminate the SAVE student-loan repayment plan.

The plan has been embroiled in a legal back-and-forth for years. Most recently, a district court declined to rule on the proposed settlement, which some advocates and lawmakers saw as a win for borrowers and urged the Department of Education to carry out relief under SAVE.

However, the 8th Circuit’s ruling means that, once approved, the department will move forward with the settlement and require enrolled borrowers to transition to a new plan.

    About the other comment I wrote (that seems to be erased but not by me), my problem is that Biden wasn’t LEFT leaving enough. MAGAts hate him because he wasn’t RIGHT leaning enough.

    And I never heard that SC was the one blocking that measure. Just like not many people in the US knows who judge Marchena¹ is.
