3.6 million student-loan borrowers defaulted since the end of 2025. More borrowers who were removed from the SAVE plan could default next year. Defaulting increases financial risk through wage garnishment and the seizure of federal benefits. When collections pause lifts, collections can resume, increasing pressure on borrowers’ finances. Alternatives to the SAVE plan are sought by borrowers affected by the change. Older borrowers are defaulting more, indicating higher delinquency risk among that group. Wage garnishment can reduce take-home pay, while benefit seizure can limit access to federal support.
