Almost all student loans are not dischargeable unless the bankruptcy court has held a hearing on dischargeability and determined there is a hardship. In most jurisdictions, a student loan is treated like any unsecured credit claim and paid at the same rate as other unsecured claims, but the balance, including accrued interest, must be paid. Unless the bankruptcy court has determined, after a hearing, that the loans need not be repaid due to hardship, the balance due, including accrued interest, must be paid after the Chapter 13. For the Chapter 13 Plan, student loans are treated as unsecured credit claims and must be paid at the same rate as the other unsecured claims in the Plan. Except in the case of a 100% plan, there will be a balance due after the 13.

However, it's important to ensure that your repayment plan is manageable alongside any new student loans you may take on. Always consult with a financial advisor or bankruptcy attorney for personalized guidance.
