Interest on federal student loans resumed accruing in August 2025 for over seven million borrowers enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) income-driven repayment plan. These loans had previously been in zero-interest forbearance due to court injunctions against the plan. The resumption of interest accrual affects borrowers who had been protected under this forbearance. However, a new repayment plan is expected to be introduced in the coming months, which may allow some borrowers to pause interest accrual again, though likely at a cost.
