But Parent PLUS loans work differently than other federal student loans — and there are currently opportunities tied to lower monthly payments and PSLF eligibility available. One of the biggest deadlines we've experienced in our decade of helping families repay loans is approaching. Due to changes with the Big Beautiful Bill legislation, Parent PLUS borrowers have a limited opportunity access more repayment options than before, if actions are taken before June 30, 2026.
Understanding your loans now matters more than ever. And, if you have Parent PLUS loans, now is the time to start the conversation.

The Challenge: A public school district employee was trapped under $192,143.33 in Parent PLUS Loans, which naturally disqualified her from low-cost repayment options and forgiveness.
The Strategy: We executed a Direct Consolidation before the critical June 30th deadline, safely transitioning her through the required federal repayment steps to unlock Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligibility.
Immediate Monthly Savings: Slashed her monthly payment from $978.45 down to just $227.49—putting $750.96 back into her pocket every month.
The Ultimate Outcome: We secured credit for 53 past payments to qualify her for the process of PSLF. She will pay $15,241.83 more over her remaining 67 months before $176,901.50 is completely forgiven debt-free.

The Challenge: A parent was facing $181,212.61 in Nelnet Parent PLUS loans. Locked into an extended graduated plan, they were paying $899.03/month and on track to pay $422,647.20 over the life of the loan.
The Strategy: We acted quickly ahead of the strict June 30, 2026, federal deadline to execute a Direct Consolidation. By leveraging specific income documentation strategies, we successfully navigated the federal process to transition the client out of a fixed plans and into an Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plan.
Immediate Monthly Savings: Decreased the client's monthly student loan payment from $899.03 down to $88.00/month—putting $811.03 back into their pocket every month.
The Long-Term Impact: By breaking out of the standard Parent PLUS restrictions, and transitioning to an IBR plan, the client will qualify for forgiveness once the number of payments are met.
