People with disabilities represent a significant portion of the communities counselors serve, yet disability-specific financial strategies are often not included in traditional training.

NACCC is exploring a potential partnership with National Disability Institute (NDI) to offer Disability-Inclusive Financial Counseling (DIFC) training to NACCC members.

DIFC is a CEU-eligible training designed to equip counselors with practical tools to better support clients with disabilities by integrating disability awareness, public benefits knowledge, and inclusive financial and housing counseling strategies into everyday practice.

We value your input as we explore this opportunity. This brief survey will help guide next steps and assess interest.

SAVE Plan Update: Court Dismisses Lawsuit,

But Uncertainty Continues

A federal court unexpectedly dismissed the Missouri-led lawsuit challenging the SAVE income-driven repayment plan. For now, this means borrowers already enrolled in SAVE remain in the plan—but the broader situation is still unsettled.

Earlier court action had blocked SAVE and placed millions of borrowers into administrative forbearance, pausing payments and delaying progress toward forgiveness. Although Missouri and the Department of Education had asked the court to approve a settlement that would end SAVE, the judge declined—explaining there was no longer a live dispute to rule on. With SAVE still subject to ongoing policy and legal changes, borrowers should watch for official updates on what happens next and how forbearance and repayment options may be affected.
