New Federal Student Loan Rehabilitation Rules Allow Borrowers Two Chances
Starting July 1, 2027, borrowers will be allowed to rehabilitate their defaulted federal student loans twice under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Previously, rehabilitation was only permitted once. This change aims to help approximately 9 million borrowers in default as of March 2026 by offering a second opportunity to bring their loans into good standing.
