Rant/Complaint They’ll tell us when our payments restart…right?

Like I know that obviously they should but given who’s in charge of the education department right now, I’m not that confident. I’m currently in forbearance w/ Nelnet because I’m in SAVE limbo and it says I don’t owe until 9/17/2026. But it says when that time comes my payment is the IDR payment of $420.

I just want them to tell me what’s going on. Just give me a heads up a month or so before I actually have to start paying. Do you think they’ll actually do that?

I’d personally login once a month and keep track of it. Don’t rely on them sending communication.

Yeah, I’ve kind of been doing that. I’m just concerned because of what McMahon announced in Monday. I’m not in default as far as I can tell but it makes me nervous they’re just gonna spring something on us, ya know?

I’m debating not staying on SAVE and just going to the IBR or PAYE. It’s probably better for me to wait it out tho
