Major student loan changes are set to take effect July 1, bringing updates to borrowing limits, repayment options, and federal aid eligibility.
New rules will limit how much some students and parents can borrow. Parent PLUS loans will be capped at $20,000 per year and $65,000 total per student, while new caps will also apply to graduate and professional degree borrowing.
Repayment options are also changing. New federal loan borrowers will have fewer choices, with options narrowing to a tiered standard repayment structure or a new income-driven option called the Repayment Assistance Program.
Borrowers currently enrolled in SAVE may also need to choose a new repayment option, with loan servicers expected to send notices about next steps.
Pell Grant rules are changing as well, including expanded eligibility for some short-term workforce training programs.
For borrowers and students, the takeaway is simple: watch for communications from loan servicers, confirm contact information is current, and review available options before deadlines arrive.

Medicare supplemental insurance costs are rising, with many consumers seeing noticeable increases in recent months.

Some policyholders experienced significant jumps — including reports of increases as high as 45% for certain plans, while more typical adjustments are now landing in the double digits.

These policies help cover out-of-pocket costs not included in traditional Medicare, such as deductibles and copayments. Without supplemental coverage, there is generally no cap on annual healthcare expenses.

A range of factors are contributing to higher premiums, including increased use of medical services, rising healthcare costs, and demographic shifts.

At the same time, options for switching plans can be limited by timing, location, and health status, making it more challenging for some individuals to adjust coverage.

These trends highlight how healthcare costs and coverage choices can evolve over time, especially for those approaching or already in retirement.

A common online security tool is now being used in a new type of scam.

Cybercriminals are increasingly using fake CAPTCHA prompts — the familiar “I’m not a robot” checks — to trick users into taking actions that can compromise their devices.

Instead of a simple verification, these prompts may ask users to click “Allow,” enable notifications, or follow additional steps that can lead to persistent pop-ups, phishing attempts, or unwanted software.

These scams often appear through ads, suspicious links, or redirected web pages, making them harder to spot at first glance.

Security experts note that legitimate CAPTCHA tests do not require enabling notifications, downloading files, or entering system commands — making those requests a potential red flag.

As these tactics evolve, staying cautious when interacting with unexpected prompts can help reduce exposure to online threats.

During the Artemis II mission, a deeply personal moment became a permanent part of lunar history. What began as a heartfelt request from the crew has now been officially recognized: a crater on the Moon is now named Carroll.

The crater honors Carroll Wiseman, the late wife of mission commander Reid Wiseman, who passed away in 2020. During their flight, the crew spotted a "bright spot on the moon" and shared an emotional moment as they proposed naming it in her memory.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has formally approved the name Carroll, ensuring her legacy remains etched on lunar maps. It’s a touching reminder that space exploration isn’t just about scientific milestones—it’s about the human stories and the loved ones who inspire the journey from home.

Major League Baseball is set to introduce a new technology-assisted system for calling balls and strikes.

Beginning in 2026, games will include an Automated Ball/Strike System (ABS) that allows teams to challenge certain home plate umpire calls. Rather than replacing umpires entirely, the system works alongside them.

Each team will have a limited number of challenges per game. If a call is challenged, tracking technology quickly reviews the pitch and displays the result, helping confirm whether it crossed the strike zone.

The system relies on camera-based tracking to evaluate each pitch against a defined strike zone calibrated to each player’s height.

After several years of testing in the minor leagues and spring training, this approach aims to balance tradition with technology — keeping the human element while adding a layer of consistency to close calls.
