Regardless of how the Supreme Court rules this week on a White House plan, a three-year pause on federal student loan payments will soon end.

Here's what to know to get ready to start paying back loans:Betsy Mayotte, President of the Institute of Student Loan Advisors, encourages people not to make any payments until the pause has ended. Instead, she says, put what you would have paid into a savings account.
