The One Big Beautiful Bill's Stealthy Blow to Student Borrowers The federal government's handling of student loan debt is often criticized for being opaque and inconsistent.
A notable example is the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), signed into law last July, which made significant changes to federal financial aid and support.
These changes will have far reaching consequences for both current and future students. One striking aspect of the OBBB's impact on student loan borrowers is the elimination of income driven repayment plans.
