The Lending Brief Podcast

$1.7 Trillion in Student Loans, Who’s Going to Manage Them?

In this episode of The Center for USA Lending's The Lending Brief, sponsored by Allocore, we're joined by Kyle Shohfi, an education policy analyst at the Congressional Research Service, for an inside look at the federal student loan portfolio and the seismic policy shifts reshaping it.

From the four-year repayment pause to a surge in defaults, jumping from 3.7 million to 6 million borrowers in a single quarter, Kyle breaks down what the numbers really mean for American borrowers and taxpayers.

He also weighs in on the administration’s plan to transfer student loan administration from the Department of Education to Treasury, the statutory hurdles standing in the way, and why the true cost of federal credit programs remains so poorly understood, even on Capitol Hill.
