Summary
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Improving Income Driven Repayment for the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program and the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program".
Plain-language summary
This bill uses a congressional disapproval process to block a Department of Education rule about income-driven repayment plans for federal student loans. Income-driven repayment plans let borrowers pay based on their income rather than a fixed amount. The rule being challenged would change how these plans work for two types of federal student loans. The bill is currently engrossed, meaning it has passed one and awaits action in the other.
