ATTENTION: The Department has given an update about how PSLF Buyback calculations will be handled now that SAVE is dead.

They have made some updates to their SAVE court case page. [https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/idr-court-actions\](https://studentaid.gov/announcements-events/idr-court-actions)

It says:

“How does the most recent court action affect Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) buyback?

Part of determining the amount of PSLF buyback requires an analysis of the repayment plan that a borrower was on before or after a period of deferment or forbearance.

If the start or end date for the period of deferment or forbearance that is being bought back is on or after July 1, 2024, then the amount required to buy back that period of time cannot be based on the SAVE Plan formula.

If the borrower was not on the IBR, PAYE, or ICR Plan on either side of the period of time being bought back, then we will request income and family size information from the borrower to determine the appropriate buyback amount.”
