The Department’s own statement of the exit mechanism. Verbatim, the sentence the alert’s word rests on: “Borrowers who do not transition plans within the 90-day period communicated by their servicer will be automatically enrolled into either the Standard Repayment Plan, or the new Tiered Standard Plan that will be available beginning July 1.” Read in full 2026-09-01; text banked beside the alert’s receipts file. The release calls the plan “illegal” and “unlawful” throughout; the alert does not adopt that characterization, only the mechanism.
