Latest action on H.R. 3165: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects students and families who take out new federal Direct student loans after the start date. They would keep more of the money they borrow because no origination fee would be taken out up front. It also affects people applying for new Federal Direct Consolidation Loans after that date. Current borrowers would not get refunds for fees already charged.
Why this matters: Student borrowers can lose part of their loan to an up-front fee before they ever receive the money. This bill would stop that for future federal Direct Loans, so borrowers could use more of what they borrow for school costs. It could make borrowing simpler and slightly cheaper for new borrowers. It could also reduce money collected by the federal student loan program, but the bill does not give a cost estimate.
