College loans were late due to new federal rules. Students are paying the price.

The new federal rules introduced under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act led to delays in student loan disbursements, causing some students to struggle financially over the summer. This confusion has raised concerns about whether loans will be available in time for the fall semester, potentially affecting students' ability to pay for classes and other expenses. As a result, students and families are feeling the immediate impact of these changes, highlighting the need for clearer communication and support from federal agencies to avoid such disruptions in the future.
