On this week's episode of The Higher Ed Shift, Amy and Carlo come back together for an interesting discussion on the student loan payment restart set for January 2022.

With three months before this deadline, the Department of Education has yet to provide a comprehensive plan that communicates to students how to re-enter their payment plans, impacting an estimated 40 million student loan borrowers after what has been a two-year pause.

Amy and Carlo discuss the anticipated challenges this will pose for borrowers, lenders, and The Department. They also discuss the recent Freedom of Information request that has brought to light internal memos between The Department and loan servicers that brings to light what we might be able to expect. And, this would not be a true Higher Ed Shift episode without a little healthy debate between Amy and Carlo.

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about the internal memos and what you need to know as we approach January 2022.
