Well I’ve been following the sub for a while and try to stay up to date. Previously all 5 of my undergrad was on the SAVE plan and are in administrative forbearance. The later 6 loans are for my postbacc certificate and my masters program I completed during the time of 9/2023-9/2025. These loans previously said no repayment plan selected but now read as they are on SAVE(IDR). I received an email today about entering repayment but when I look in my account the last document I received was in January.
So,
-
Does this mean I can stay on save with these last 6 loans like I was planning to do with my undergrad.
-
If this is a hiccup based on my loan information what is the best plan to select/repayment strategy. I currently make between 35-38k a year (I’m not salaried so income can fluctuate by 1000+- from month to month.

Any dates and automatic notifications you’re getting regarding repayment are just placeholders if you’re on SAVE. There’s no known end date to the SAVE forbearance currently, nor is there any knowledge of what those on the forbearance will need to do once it ends (in terms of switching plans, etc.).
