As I understand it, under the new REPAYE plan, the government pays 50% of the accrued interest if the minimum monthly payment is not enough to cover it (negative amortization). This greatly reduces the final tax bomb compared to PAYE or IBR. If this is true, does anyone know if this stipulation is written anywhere in the master promissory note? I am worried the government could pull this out at anytime if it is not written there and I'm kind of banking on this plan in order to attend the school I want to go to.
