KRON4 reported that millions of Americans, including those in the San Francisco area, are facing higher monthly student loan payments this month.

The increase is due to the federal government's elimination of the SAVE Plan, a program put in place during the Biden administration to provide relief on federal student loans.

The discontinuation of the SAVE Plan has resulted in higher monthly payments for many borrowers.

This change affects federal student loan holders across the country, including residents of the San Francisco area who relied on the program for more manageable repayment terms.
