Appearing in USA Today on June 18, 2026, Medora Lee cites NCLC’s Student Loan Borrower Assistance blog post in coverage of federal student loan changes scheduled to take effect July 1. Experts say Parent PLUS borrowers urgently need to take action or face irreversible consequences.
Borrowers should go to studentaid.gov to review repayment options now rather than wait until the changes take effect. The consolidation must be processed and issued before July 1, said the nonprofit National Consumer Law Center (NCLC), or you lose all access to any income-driven repayment plan for any consolidation loan containing the Parent PLUS loans.
