It also ties future increases to inflation and requires annual reports to Congress on who benefits. - Dependent students and families: Parental income counted for aid could fall by the lesser of $4,000 or 15 percent of parents' outstanding federal student loan debt, which can raise eligibility for need-based aid. - Parents with debt: Eligibility for the allowance is limited by income.
