What you need to know:



  • Filling in the education cost gap.

    Education costs have outpaced the support of programs like the GI Bill and the SCRA Interest Cap, resulting in the need for student loans.



  • Veteran borrowers have options.

    Refinancing loans that don’t qualify for federal loan benefits can help veteran borrowers get ahead of their debt while interest rates are low.



  • Attract and retain veteran talent.

    When organizations design a well-thought-out veteran EVP, it leads to better talent and business outcomes.



  • SoFi at Work can help.

    Our contribution platform provides a low-cost way to deliver funds toward your employees’ student debt, plus other financial well-being benefits.

FAQs


What is the contribution tax benefit?

Recent legislation modified educational assistance to include student loan payments by employers. Employers can now include loan payments along with other educational assistance that is subject to the $5,250 exclusion from employee’s income. Employers can deduct this amount, just like they were allowed to before—the only change is that loan payments can now be included. Tuition assistance and student loan payments should now be combined for purposes of calculating the $5,250 limit. If assistance exceeds the limit resulting in taxable income to the employee, the employer can deduct both the $5,250 excluded from wages and any excess that is included in wages.



Is the non-taxable amount of $5,250 in addition to the existing limit for tuition reimbursement?

No, not in addition. Employers can offer as much “educational assistance” as they wish, but only up to $5,250 per year can be excluded from an employee’s taxable income. This $5,250 total includes student loan contributions and traditional tuition assistance.


What’s changed for employees?

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 extended the CARES treatment of payments of student loan principal and interest by an employer to either an employee or a lender is not taxable to the employee if paid through December 31, 2025. The maximum tax-free amount is $5,250 per employee [maximum total allowed under Sec. 127] per year.
