Abstract: The Federal Direct PLUS Loan Request for Supplemental
Information serves as the means by which a parent applicant may provide
certain information to a school that will assist the school in
originating the borrower's Direct PLUS Loan award, as an alternative to
providing this information to the school by other means established by
the school. This is a request for a revision of the currently approved
form.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on July 4,
2025, made statutory changes to Sections 455(a), 455(d), 455(e),
455(g), and 455(q) that impact borrower eligibility, terms and
conditions, and borrowers' rights and responsibilities for Direct PLUS
Loans received on or after July 1, 2026.
The new regulations directly impact the Direct PLUS Loan Request.
Namely, the regulations modify the annual and aggregate loan limits for
Direct PLUS Loans for parent borrowers and eliminate a graduate or
professional student's eligibility for new PLUS loans as of July 1,
2026.
Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy
Development.
