to get alerts as more details about two new federal programs become available.
Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is a new way to make your federal student loan payments more manageable starting next year. And if you're a teacher or work in government or at a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) organization, you might qualify for a new type of public service loan forgiveness after 10 years of eligible payments and employment.
These federal programs will be available to borrowers starting July 1, 2009. The U.S. Department of Education expects to finalize detailed rules for how each program will work by November 1, 2008.
