Hi all!

    Thank you all for such a positive response to the previous story. We've got our second piece up today on what existing/current borrowers need to know.

    One BIG takeaway: you're only an "existing" borrower as long as you don't take out any more loans or consolidate the ones you have (after July 1). If you do either of those things, you'll suddenly become a NEW borrower, and the new rules will apply to you. If you're paying off old loans and don't expect to take any more out (or consolidate), this is the article for you.

      Wait, can you confirm that folks in SAVE can just chill in forbearance for two more years? My understanding was the court ruling would decide out fate.

      Edit: The article states things are in limbo still, but the opening paragraphs make it sound like SAVE is included in the two year timeframe.
