The new plan, known as the SAVE Plan, will fully launch in August. Borrowers who apply during this period will not need to reapply after the official launch. Just over two months before federal student-loan payments resume, President Joe Biden's Education Department launched the first version of its new income-driven repayment plan.CNN first reported on Sunday that the Federal Student Aid office launched a beta version of the updated IDR application that includes an option for borrowers to enroll in the new SAVE Plan, which the department calls "the most affordable repayment plan yet," per its website."During the testing period, eligible borrowers can apply for the SAVE Plan, but some website functionality may be limited as the Department's technical team monitors site performance and refines and tweaks the application as needed," a department spokesperson told Insider.
