What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article presented the college earnings premium as an established individual causal return and described the SAVE plan as currently providing relief without noting its 2024 court-blocked status; Maryland/Utah reforms, the one-times debt rule, and target-school admission were also flagged for review.
What was corrected
Qualified the earnings-premium claim as correlational/population-level and updated SAVE's legal status, while confirming the other three claims were already accurate.
Why this is better
The earnings-premium and SAVE claims were overstated or outdated; the rest of the article's claims were already correct.
