The only option that remains for <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/student-loan-debt\/income-driven-repayment-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">income-driven repayment<\/a> is the amended IBR, but only for those already on ICR when the law takes effect. This rule is particularly important for borrowers who used <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/43530\/student-loan-double-consolidation-loophole\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">the double consolidation strategy<\/a>, a legal workaround allowing Parent PLUS loans to qualify for IDR.<\/p>\n<p>If a borrower completes double consolidation but is on the wrong plan, such as SAVE or PAYE, they will be locked out of any income-driven options once the bill becomes law. <strong>Being on ICR alone is what counts<\/strong>, not simply being enrolled in an IDR plan.<\/p>\n<p>Borrowers who aren&rsquo;t currently on ICR and don&rsquo;t switch in time will be forced into <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/57160\/congress-unveils-plan-to-change-student-loan-repayment-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">the bill&rsquo;s new standard repayment plans<\/a>, which run from 10 to 25 years depending on balance and offer no income protections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-197662a0b1b\">\n<h2 class=\"\">What Parent Borrowers Should Consider Right Now<\/h2>\n<p>Borrowers with Parent PLUS loans, and especially those who used double consolidation, need to carefully assess their current repayment plan. The clearest path to maintaining <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/student-loan-debt\/income-driven-repayment-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">income-driven repayment<\/a> eligibility under the new law is to enroll in ICR immediately and enter repayment.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what to keep in mind for Parent PLUS loan borrowers:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li><strong>Timing matters<\/strong>: You must be in repayment under ICR the day <em>before<\/em> the bill is signed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other IDR plans won&rsquo;t count<\/strong>: Being on SAVE, PAYE, or any plan other than ICR disqualifies you from future IBR eligibility under the new system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amended IBR is only open to borrowers with active loans before the law takes effect<\/strong>: Any new loans issued after the bill&rsquo;s effective date will have no access to ICR, IBR, or RAP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For borrowers unable to qualify for ICR due to not having a <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/21662\/student-loan-consolidation\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">consolidation loan<\/a>, you would have to consolidate first, the apply for ICR. Given there is likely only about 3 weeks before the bill goes into effect, there may not be enough time to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>And based on the current wording, <strong>there are no IDR options available to Parent PLUS borrowers once the law is enacted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-197662a0b1c\">\n<h2 class=\"\">What To Know Moving Forward<\/h2>\n<p>There is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">no<\/span> grace period once the law is signed. <\/p>\n<p>The amended IBR program under the new bill is only available to those who are already on an income driven repayment plan. The Senate version of the bill shuts down Parent PLUS eligibility for the new <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/58820\/repayment-assistance-plan-rap-student-loan-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">RAP plan<\/a> altogether. That means the window to switch into ICR and enter repayment may be days or weeks, depending on legislative timing.<\/p>\n<p>The bill still has to be reconciled between the <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/58785\/gop-budget-plan-cuts-pell-grants-and-30-year-student-loans\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">House<\/a> and Senate. So this isn&#8217;t the final version. If this impacts you, now is the time to <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/58852\/how-to-contact-your-congress-member-effectively\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">contact your Senator or Representative<\/a>. The final bill will likely be unveiled by the end of June and signed into law shortly after.<\/p>\n<p>Families that took on loans for their children&rsquo;s education may find themselves excluded from
