The US Department of Education has issued a press release explaining changes to the government's student debt programme aligned with President Donald Trump 's ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ aka OBBBA.

The consensus was reached during negotiated rulemaking session held over two weeks in September and November, “to place commonsense limits and guardrails on future student loan borrowing and simplify the federal student loan repayment system.” it added.

Donald Trump signed the OBBBA into law in July 2025, with provisions that his administration claims will “simplify the overly complex student loan repayment system and reform how future loans are made to students and families”.
