SUMMARY:Rapid Response: SAVE Plan Update
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few weeks\, the judicial fight over the future of
  the SAVE federal student debt repayment plan has left millions of working
  people in limbo. After a federal court dismissed a backroom deal between 
 Trump’s Department of Education and Missouri’s right-wing Attorneys Ge
 neral to end the affordable SAVE program\, a brief opportunity emerged for
  student debtors to re-enroll in SAVE\, access lower monthly payments\, an
 d make progress towards debt cancellation. But just days later\, a federal
  appeals court reversed this decision\, moving forward with a settlement t
 hat would once again end SAVE. \n\nInstead of supporting student debtors 
 struggling with a cost of living crisis and skyrocketing gas prices\, our 
 federal government is giving debtors the runaround and denying them access
  to the most affordable payment plan in history. \n\nIn partnership with 
 Student Debt Crisis Center and Public Goods Practice\, we’re organizing 
 debtors to demand that the Trump administration protect and fully implemen
 t SAVE\, deliver cancellation to qualified debtors\, and restore access to
  SAVE repayment benefits like lower monthly payments. On March 9\, a group
  of these debtors filed a lawsuit (Havens v. U.S. Department of Education)
  to sue the administration alleging that the Department’s refusal to imp
 lement the SAVE Plan Final Rule violates federal administrative law by den
 ying them the relief they are entitled by regulation and statute. One week
  later\, the same group of debtors asked a judge to reconsider termination
  of the SAVE Plan.\n\nAs the nation’s only union of debtors\, these type
 s of actions would not be possible without the support of our members — 
 three of whom are representing student debtors across the country as indiv
 idual plaintiffs in this lawsuit.\n\nOn Thursday\, March 26\, we will be h
 osting a call in partnership with Student Debt Crisis Center and Public Go
 ods Practice to explain these developments and discuss next steps for deb
 tors and for the movement.
