Confirmation battles are heating up, and student loan policy hangs in the balance. Linda McMahon is set to take over the Department of Education, but will her past come back to haunt her? More importantly, who will actually be in charge of student loan decisions? We address why student loans have been on the back burner, what could change, and how much power the Trump administration really has over repayment plans, IDR adjustments, and recertifications. Plus, we tackle must-hear listener questions to help you navigate shifting student loan policies, avoid costly missteps, and make the best decisions for your repayment strategy.

Key moments:

(00:43) Linda McMahon’s confirmation is all but certain, despite past allegations (05:56) Who will shape Trump’s student loan policy? With confirmation battles ahead, there’s no clear leader yet(06:46) Student loans aren’t a priority for Trump’s education team — where does that leave borrowers? (15:00) Over 300 qualifying payments and still waiting… should you switch repayment plans, or does it even matter? (20:46) Could Trump erase the IDR account adjustment? Yes, but it isn’t likely (32:14) IDR recertification is in Trump’s hands, and borrowers need to be ready with the right tax returns
