Ameritech Financial: Got Student Loans? Your Representatives Do, Too
ROHNERT PARK, Calif., March 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- What do you have in common with Congress? Aside from sharing a political view or two, student loan borrowers can count their representatives among their ranks. The Capitol Hill news outlet Roll Call assesses the finances of our representatives in their "Wealth of Congress" report and have identified that one-tenth of Congress is repaying student loans. Ameritech Financial, a private document preparation company that helps borrowers apply for and recertify enrollment in federal repayment plans, encourages borrowers to aim high in their careers even as they repay student loans.
"Student loans can facilitate an education that propels certain folks much further than they likely ever would have gone without them," said Tom Knickerbocker, Executive Vice President of Ameritech Financial.
Members of the House and the Senate have salaries of $174,000, so they are better financially equipped than most to repay their loans successfully. Some representatives, as their financial disclosures reveal, are far richer than just their yearly pay, with money in investments, property, or trusts. So while members of Congress are different than the average borrower, they serve as a strong reminder student loans affect so many different kinds of people, including successful individuals and their families. For example, Congressman Darren Soto, D-Fla., directly credits his law school education, and the loans that financed it, as "an essential part of [his] success."
For the career-minded student loan borrower, success can likely only be achieved if that borrower is up to date with his or her student loans. Federal student loan borrowers who may need more affordable payments might benefit from income-driven repayment plans (IDRs), which calculate monthly payments relative to a person's income and family size. However, an application and yearly recertification is needed to enter into and stay enrolled in these plans. Ameritech Financial is a private, independent company which helps borrowers identify, apply for, and maintain enrollment in such plans. One of Ameritech's primary services is preparing documents related to the application and recertification process for income-driven plans.
"When borrowers sign up with Ameritech Financial, they are taking the confusion out of IDR applications," said Knickerbocker. "And they are gaining support for all the paperwork and administrative aspects of IDRs that seem to trip so many up and prevent them from getting the affordable payment they need."
