What it does
The Shutdown Student Loans for Feds Act would suspend federal student loan payments and prevent interest from accruing for federal employees and certain contractors during any government funding lapse lasting 14 days or more in fiscal year 2026 or later. It would also count suspended payments toward loan forgiveness programs and ensure they are reported as on-time payments to credit agencies, with the option for refunds of payments made during such lapses. The bill applies to covered individuals, including federal employees and contractors who support them but are not paid during the lapse, and would take effect retroactively as of September 30, 2025.
