That figure reflects a decrease from 1.98 million pending applications just a month earlier, but it underscores the scale of the challenge the Department continues to face.<\/p>\n<p>Officials have warned that not all applications may be completed. Borrowers who submitted applications and selected &#8220;SAVE&#8221; or selected &#8220;lowest monthly payment&#8221; may not see their applications processed <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/58271\/save-student-loan-plan-timeline-estimates\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">until the lawsuit against the SAVE plan is resolved, or Congress acts to eliminate the SAVE plan altogether<\/a>.

The Department completed 3,312 buyback requests in May, up from 1,472 in April.<\/p>\n<p>However, the total number of pending PSLF buyback requests increased from 49,318 to 58,761. The increase in pending requests suggests that new applications outpaced the Department&rsquo;s ability to process them during the month.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/57908\/which-payments-and-periods-count-towards-pslf-and-buyback\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">buyback program allows borrowers who had periods of federal student loan forbearance or deferment to retroactively count qualifying payments toward loan forgiveness<\/a> if they meet the PSLF criteria. But processing delays have made it difficult for borrowers to access relief in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>PSLF buyback is processed by a small team directly at the Department of Education. It&#8217;s likely that the whiplash of layoffs, followed by rehiring, and the increased amount of applications, is making it hard for the team to process them timely or effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, we were seeing average wait times on buyback applications taking 2-3 months. Today, we&#8217;re seeing 6-7 months, and that number is growing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-type=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-1977e959913\">\n<h2 class=\"\">What Borrowers Can Expect<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The current pace of <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/student-loan-debt\/income-driven-repayment-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">IDR plan<\/a> processing, while improved, still leaves more than a million borrowers in limbo. Even if you exclude the <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/43245\/save-repayment-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\">SAVE plan borrowers<\/a>, there are still many applications waiting to be processed. We&#8217;ve also heard reports from borrowers that filed the new online form, and are still stuck and not being processed. Even though many borrowers are reporting the online form only taking a few days, that&#8217;s not true for everyone.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">And the slower progress in the PSLF buyback system suggests that many <a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/31848\/pslf-public-service-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">public service workers<\/a> may have to wait months longer to receive updates or loan forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s nice that these status updates are providing basic transparency, but more data on approval rates, average processing times, and reasons for delays would help both borrowers and policymakers assess the effectiveness of these programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t Miss These Other Stories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tcb-post-list
