NEW YORK (AP) — The Trump administration’s recent changes to student loans are causing frustration and confusion for some borrowers.

The removal of application materials also has caused confusion around the recertification process for borrowers already enrolled in repayment plans, experts say. Income-driven repayment plans take a borrower’s finances and family size into account when calculating monthly payments, but borrowers must periodically demonstrate they still qualify.
