StudentLoanDriftAlert
Monitors income-driven repayment plan eligibility changes and alerts borrowers before their monthly payment jumps due to salary increases or plan recalculations.
The Problem
Income-driven repayment (IDR) plans recalculate payments annually based on tax returns, and borrowers often miss critical eligibility windows or don't realize their payment will spike 30-50% when their income crosses a threshold. Many borrowers overpay or enter default because they weren't notified of plan changes in time.
Target Audience
College-educated professionals (ages 25-45) with federal student loans on income-driven repayment plans, especially those with variable income or recent salary increases.
Why Now?
IDR plans are back in focus post-SAVE, borrowers are confused about new rules, and many are returning to repayment after the pandemic pause with outdated payment expectations.
What's Missing
Existing loan servicer portals are reactive (show current payment) not predictive. No tool forecasts when a raise or bonus will trigger a repayment jump or plan change.
