5. Is there a maximum income limit to qualify for an income-driven repayment plan?
No. There is an income eligibility requirement for the PAYE and IBR plans, but it is not based on a
particular income level. Rather, it compares your income to the amount of your eligible federal student
loan debt. There is no income eligibility requirement for the REPAYE or ICR plans. See
Eligible
Borrowers, below, for more information.
6. How can I learn more?
