Congress worsens student-loan repayment terms for some borrowers
The change would raise monthly payments and extend the length of repayment for affected existing borrowers, according to the New York Times.
The New York Times reports that Congress made a rare move to worsen repayment terms for some existing student loan borrowers.
Under the change, affected borrowers are expected to pay more and carry the repayment obligation for a longer term than under prior terms.
The outlet describes the shift as leaving some borrowers with less favorable repayment plans than they had before the congressional action.
