Another thing about the ICR plan, will it benefit me for my PLUS loans?
The benefits of this plan will give you the only income-based repayment option available to major PLUS loan borrowers.
I'm hoping to find out as well about the temporary relief. Is an income-driven repayment plan a safer way to get it with lower payments?
Yes, it might be a better option because your income-driven repayment base your monthly student loan payments on your income and family size and you could have a payment as low as zero each month.
