Through July 1, 2025, Parent PLUS borrowers can access all income-driven repayment (IDR) plans — including the new SAVE plan — through double consolidation. Double consolidation is when a borrower consolidates their Parent PLUS loans twice in order to create a new Direct Loan that is eligible for all available IDR plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).
