20 days until the July 1, 2026 deadline

One missed recertification deadline
costs more than 2 years of Monitor.

If you forget to recertify your IDR plan on time, your monthly payment can jump from your current amount to the standard 10-year repayment amount — often $200–400/month more. For the price of a weekly coffee, we make sure that never happens.

Recertification Reminders

60, 30, and 7 days before your annual IDR recertification is due, we email you with a checklist. Miss it and your payment jumps $200–400/month overnight — sometimes doubling or tripling what you owe. We make sure that never happens.

Quarterly Check-ins

Every 3 months, we check in. If your situation changed — job, income, family, PSLF employment, or you switched plans — one click re-runs your analysis against the current rules and surfaces anything better. If nothing changed, ignore the email and carry on.

Rule Change Alerts

Student loan regulations change constantly. When something changes that affects your specific plan and loan type, we send a plain-English alert explaining what changed and whether you need to act. No more scouring news articles or Reddit threads for answers that apply to your situation.

What's at stake?

You've already done the work to figure out your plan. Don't let a missed email in your spam folder cost you thousands.

Common Questions

Can't I just set calendar reminders myself?

You can set a reminder to recertify, but you can't set a reminder for regulations you don't know are coming. Rule changes, new forgiveness opportunities, servicer errors, tax implications — these are things you don't know to watch for. That's what we do.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancel anytime from your account page. No contracts, no penalties, no questions asked. You keep access through the end of your billing period.

Is this financial advice?

No. LoanShift Monitor provides information, reminders, and alerts based on publicly available federal regulations. We don't tell you what to do — we make sure you have the information to make your own decisions. Consult a financial advisor for personalized advice.

How do you know which rule changes affect me?

When you sign up, we have your loan types, repayment plan, balance, and income from your analysis. We match every regulatory change against your specific profile and only alert you about changes that actually matter for your situation.

I'm on PSLF — is this useful for me?

Especially useful. PSLF requires exactly 120 qualifying payments on the right plan with the right employer certification. We track your count, remind you to recertify your employment annually, and alert you if anything changes that could affect your eligibility.
