For many employees, some 44 million of Americans more specifically, college debt bills are back in budgets after a three-year pause on student loan repayments ended this month.

But experts predict the end of that Covid-era relief program, plus new legislation and changing worker expectations, could mean employer student loan benefits could finally get more of a boost. For my latest story, I spoke with companies, benefits consultants and experts on the student debt crisis and how they’re thinking about benefits as repayments resume.

Read on for more news and career advice in this week’s issue. Have a great week!

FEATURED STORY

Student Loan Payments Are Resuming. Employers May Finally Do More To Help.

Some 44 million Americans owe $1.6 trillion in federal student debt—a staggering figure that takes on new urgency as repayments resume this month after being paused in March 2020 as an emergency Covid-19 relief measure. Experts say the Secure Act 2.0, which was passed in late 2022 and takes effect in January, could spur more companies to add assistance for workers who are paying student loans.

The new provision will let employers offer extra savings to young workers by paying out 401(k) matching contributions to those making student loan payments—even if the employee is not contributing to their 401(k) on their own.

“For a long time, employees had to choose between contributing to their retirement or paying down their student loans,” says Aaron Smith, cofounder of Savi, a startup that works with employers to help workers access loan repayment options. He believes many companies will eventually adopt a similar program. “It takes time for employers to wrap their heads around a big new type of benefit or program like this, but it’s an attractive idea.”
