Bill Summary

JOINT RESOLUTION 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’’.

AI Summary

This Joint Resolution formally disapproves a rule proposed by the Department of Education aimed at improving "Income-Driven Repayment" (IDR) plans for federal student loans. IDR plans are designed to make student loan payments more manageable by basing them on a borrower's income and family size. The rule in question specifically applied to the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program and the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, which are the two main federal student loan programs. By disapproving this rule, Congress is preventing the Department of Education's proposed changes to these IDR plans from taking effect, meaning the current system will remain in place. This action is taken under Chapter 8 of Title 5 of the United States Code, which provides Congress with the authority to review and overturn regulations issued by federal agencies.
