Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held
Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held Business across Michigan and Ontario are holding their breath as leaders gather at the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, held June 15-17, and discuss critical issues. Colin Bird, Canadian Consul General, appears on Michigan Matters to highlight some of them. At the top of the list: tariffs between the U.S. and Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting the gathering, which includes President Trump and leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries. Mr. Trump started the tariff volley in January after taking office, as he said they would boost American manufacturing and address what he said were illegal drugs and immigrants crossing over the border from Canada. Gardner White CEO, Rachel Stewart, and Canadian Consul General, Colin Bird, with Michigan Matters host Carol Cain. Tim Lawlis/CBS Detroit Other nations are wrapped up in tariffs too, including Mexico, China as they responded in kind with their own tariffs against the U.S. as a result. Canada is Michigan's No. 1 trading partner and vice versa, with cars, car parts, agriculture, tourism and more as products and people crossing bridges and tunnels between our state and our northern neighbor to the tune of billions each year. Then, Rachel Stewart, CEO of Gardner White, appears on the show to talk about her family-owned company borrowing a page from its past as it opens a new store in the heart of downtown Detroit. Stewart, board member of Business Leaders For Michigan, also talks about growing the population in the state and making it more competitive with other states. Stewart also discusses the importance of supporting the community as her company is a sponsor of America's Thanksgiving Parade and other endeavors. (Watch Michigan Matters at its new time: 5:30 a.m. Sundays on CBS Detroit and 9:30 a.m. Sundays on CW Detroit 50 WKBD). (Carol Cain is the 13-time Emmy-winning senior producer and host of Michigan).

I'm a Student Loan Expert. Here Are the 6 Moves Borrowers Should Make Now
Regardless of your situation, there are ways to take charge of your student loans. Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET What's going on with student loans these days? It feels like the answer changes weekly. Between a barrage of news about potential higher payments for borrowers enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education plan and the ramp-up of wage garnishment efforts, there's a lot going on. If you haven't logged into your student loan account since before the pandemic, you probably have a lot of questions. As a student loan policy expert who's worked in the industry for more than 15 years, I know the past few years have been tumultuous. It's easy to feel like all of the student loans changes are out of your control. Here are my top tips for taking charge of your student loans without getting overwhelmed. Read more: SAVE Student Loan Borrowers Likely Won't Make Payments This Year, but Should Do This One Thing Now Find out your student loan balance Do you know how much you owe in total on your student loans? It's a question that many borrowers can't answer when I ask them. You might have an idea (or think you do). But it's important to check, especially if you think you may be behind on your payments. Many borrowers I've worked with are surprised to find they owe more than they initially borrowed when it's time to start repayment. This is because most loans, except subsidized ones, begin accruing interest from the moment they are disbursed. Outstanding interest, which has not been capitalized or added to your loan, is listed separately from the principal balance. To fully understand your loan balance, it's important to carefully review your statements. If you know who your student loan servicer is, you can log into your online account to check your balance. If you're not sure, you can find out by logging into your Federal Student Aid account and visiting the My Aid page. Read more: 5 Ways to Pay Off Your Student Loans Even Faster Plan to restart payments If you are enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education Plan, your loans have been in an administrative forbearance since summer 2024 due to the plan's legal challenges. You haven't been able to make payments, and your interest rate has been set to zero. This payment hold is temporary and could end soon. It's a good idea to explore other income-driven repayment plans so you can plan for your new monthly payment. You can use the US Department of Education's Loan Simulator to estimate your payments and check eligibility for specific plans. Read more: My Student Loan Payment Will Jump From $0 to $488 After SAVE Ends. Yours Might Too Earning less? Recertify your income A lot has changed since the first administrative forbearance in 2020, and if you're facing financial hardship or making less money than you were five years ago, you may want to apply to have your income recertified to potentially lower your student loan payment if you're on an income-driven repayment plan. To recertify your income, visit IDR application page and select "Recertify or Change Your Income-Driven Repayment Plan." Apply for the PSLF buyback program now, if you're eligible The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program offers debt cancellation for teachers, nurses and other public service employees who work in a qualifying job for 10 years and make 120 payments on their loans. If you're enrolled in SAVE and were close to reaching your 120 total payments, the recent payment pause may have delayed your forgiveness. In this case, you might benefit from the PSLF buyback program. The PSLF buyback program lets you "buy back" months where your loans sat on hold during a forbearance period -- but only if doing so brings you to 120 total payments. For example, let's say you had already made 115 qualifying payments before your loan entered the SAVE Plan forbearance. You could apply for the PSLF buyback program to buy back five of the months where your loans were in forbearance to reach the 120-payment requirement. You'll apply for the program online, and once approved, you'll have 90 days to pay off what you owe for the number of months you buy back. So, if your monthly payment was $100, you'd need to pay $500 to receive forgiveness. You'll also need to make sure you meet all other PSLF eligibility criteria, such as working for a qualifying employer and having the correct loan type. If you think you're eligible and want to confirm your payment count, you can find qualifying payment amounts in your account. Expert tip: Note: Many borrowers have been waiting to find out the status of their PSLF buyback request, but it's still worth applying if you meet the requirements. Read more: More Student Loan Forgiveness Is on the Way for PSLF Borrowers. What's Next for Debt Relief? Pay off your interest while you're in school If you're still in college, your student loans likely haven't entered repayment yet. While it's difficult to predict what repayment options will be available in the future, there are proactive steps you can take now. One recommendation is to pay off any interest that accrues while you're still in school. Even small contributions can help reduce the overall cost of your loans in the long run. If your federal student loan hasn't yet entered repayment, you won't be eligible to enroll in a repayment plan. Repayment starts six months after graduation or if your enrollment drops below half-time, unless you enroll in another program, like graduate school, before the grace period ends. Read more: What's the Future of Student Loans and FAFSA if the Department of Education Goes Under? Don't count on student loan forgiveness Many borrowers have turned to income-driven repayment plans to reduce their monthly payments and potentially qualify for student loan forgiveness. However, forgiveness is not guaranteed, especially as legal challenges continue to threaten SAVE and some of the other IDR repayment plans. Programs like PSLF and forgiveness under the Income-Based Repayment Plan carry less risk, since they would require congressional action to be altered or eliminated. That said, it's always wise to plan for full repayment of your student loans, regardless of any current potential forgiveness opportunities.
