Key Points

  • The REDI Act would allow doctors and dentists in training to pause their federal student loan payments while they are in residency or internship programs.
  • Under this bill, interest would not grow or be added to the loan balance while the borrower is in their training, which can last several years.
  • This plan helps new medical professionals who often have high student debt but earn relatively low pay during the first few years of their careers.
  • The goal is to prevent loan balances from ballooning before these professionals start earning full salaries, making it easier for them to eventually pay off their debt.
