AS OF APRIL 28, 2025 THE DEPT. OF EDUCATION BEGAN REMOVING IDR RECOUNTS WITHOOT WARNING!
Screenshot Your IDR Progress Today Before the Department Removes Your History!
In January, NCLC shared that the Department of Education had added important new information to studentaid.gov showing borrowers their progress toward being debt-free through Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans. As we reported, borrowers could log into their accounts on studentaid.gov and see an IDR progress tracker showing how many months of qualifying payments they had made in IDR. They could also see how many more years and months of payments they would need to make until they would be eligible to have any remaining loan balance cancelled.
However, recently we have seen the federal government remove lots of information from government websites, and this IDR progress tracker could be removed at any time. Borrowers should therefore save this information while they can, in case it is removed from their accounts. Do it today!
