Legislative changes to student loan repayment make now the time to act

With the recent federal legislation, “the One Big Beautiful Bill” signed into law on July 4, student loan repayment options will undergo significant changes. While two types of income-driven repayment plans and several loan types will be eliminated in July 2026, one key program remains untouched: Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). That’s great news for CU employees, most of whom qualify for PSLF thanks to CU’s status as a not-for-profit employer.
