Do you work with entrepreneurs who have low incomes who may be struggling with federal student debt? Did you hear about the new repayment plan (SAVE), but are not sure how people can benefit? Did you know that some borrowers qualify for a $0 monthly payment under an Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plan? In this webinar replay, you will learn how IDR can not only be an affordable monthly repayment option, but also lead to forgiveness after 10-25 years in repayment. Our speaker also touched on other common types of loan forgiveness and discharge and how Washington state borrowers can get assistance managing their student loans.
