The Problem
Although group benefit packages tend to focus on 401(k) investments and health insurance plans, student loan debt assistance has become one of the fastest growing offerings—and for good reason. The numbers don’t lie. With more than $1.7 trillion owed, student loans are the second biggest source of consumer debt after mortgages and affects nearly 45 million Americans. 2023 has been a watershed year for student loan borrowers, and 2024 is poised for the same. The time to offer student loan benefits is now.
