How to maintain your Income-Driven Repayment plan?
Once you’ve completed the IDR application process and received confirmation of enrollment, you’ll need to recertify your income each year to remain on the plan and not have a lapse. Your annual recertification will likely fall 12 months after you initially entered your IDR plan, and your student loan servicer should notify you when your time to recertify is coming up.
