When SAVE eventually ends, will I automatically go back to IBR?

Hello Everyone,

Like many of you, I am currently on the SAVE plan. Back about three years ago I applied for the IBR plan and was automatically put into the SAVE plan a few weeks later.

Does anybody know if I stay on the SAVE plan until it ends, will I go back to IBR or will I be put into the standard repayment? Should Do I need to apply for IBR again?

I currently work abroad and benefit from the foreign income exclusion.

Thank you!
