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.
