a lesser known Loan Repayment program that

widely available income-drivenrepayment (IDR)
plan for federal student loans that has been
available since 2009.Income-
driven repayment plans can help borrowers keep
their loan payments affordable with payment
caps based on their income and family size.

designed to make repaying education loans easier
for students who intend to pursue jobs with lower
salaries, such as careers in public service. It does
this by pegging the monthly payments to the
borrower's income, family size, and total amount
borrowed.
