SMARTER+ is an online database of all student loan forgiveness programs, repayment programs, and repayment plans. Both at a federal and state level.
On December 14, 2023, Senator Manchin (for himself and Mr. Braun) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
The Act was cited as the “Streamlining More Accessible, Reliable and Transparent Educational Resources for Debt Act” or the “SMARTER Debt Act”.
As of August 2024, the bill has gone nowhere.
This resource was directly created to help anyone with student loans who wants the burden lifted but doesn’t know where to start.
