This legislation seeks to make permanent the existing tax exclusion for certain employer payments of student loans. Currently, the Internal Revenue Code allows employers to contribute up to $5,250 annually towards an employee's student loans on a tax-free basis, but this provision is set to expire on January 1, 2026 . The bill achieves this by striking the sunset clause from Section 127(c)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. By removing this expiration date, the measure ensures that employer-provided student loan repayment assistance remains a tax-exempt benefit for employees indefinitely. This change would apply to all payments made after the date of the bill's enactment, providing long-term stability for this employee benefit.
