Student Loan Help: New Support Programs and Information Access
This act aims to make it easier for citizens to manage their student loans. It establishes support programs that will help resolve issues, obtain information, and understand rights and responsibilities related to federal loans. As a result, individuals with student loans will have easier access to assistance and advice.
Key points
Local, free student loan assistance programs will be established, funded by the government.
These programs will answer questions, help file complaints and appeals, and educate borrowers about their rights and responsibilities.
A national online directory of these programs will be maintained, making it easy for anyone to find help in their community.
Federal student loan servicers will designate liaisons to coordinate with assistance programs, streamlining problem resolution.
