Well, you don't have to pay back the PLUS Loan right away. At one time you had to start making payments within 60 days of receiving the money, but the emergency legislation, that we have discussed before, which was passed last year has allowed parents to not have to start making payments so soon. Now you can defer payment until your child graduates. Which means you don't have to start making payments for 4 years. This also can make the repaying of the PLUS loan a family effort. Legally parents have the responsibility of repaying the loan, but getting your children to help repay the loan will definitely reduce the financial burden.
