If your student loan debt is high relative to your income, you may qualify for the Income-Based Repayment Plan (IBR).

Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is designed to reduce monthly payments to assist with making your student loan debt manageable. If you need to make lower monthly payments, this plan may be for you. (more…)
The federal government’s civilian employees have worked under a salary freeze for about two years, but their incomes will begin to rise after March 27 unless Congress acts to once again halt their salary increases.
Lawmakers are expected to take up the matter in coming months as they address the debt limit and the automatic spending cuts delayed under a “fiscal cliff” deal that President Barack Obama signed Wednesday.
The president made the pay freeze extension on the federal workforce official this afternoon (12/21/2012) when he issued a presidential memorandum directing heads of agencies to not issue any pay increases until at least March 27, 2013.
President Obama had previously said he wanted to end the pay freeze in 2013 and give federal employees a 0.5% pay raise, but would not do so until Congress passes a budget.
