The remaining borrowers who did not select a new plan were set to start receiving notices this month informing them that they missed a final deadline and were automatically moved to a new plan. The Trump administration has said ending the SAVE plan would help streamline repayment programs while ensuring borrowers are paying off what they owe to the federal government.
