Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reported no more than roughly $66,000 across several bank, retirement and investment accounts while carrying as much as $50,000 in federal student debt, according to her latest financial disclosure, offering a relatively unusual financial profile for one of the most prominent members of Congress.
The New York Democrat's 2025 disclosure has drawn renewed attention as Ocasio-Cortez, 36, says she is paying for elective egg freezing, a procedure she has described as one of the largest personal expenses she has undertaken. She has said she spent years saving for the treatment.
Congressional financial disclosures don't provide exact balances. Instead, lawmakers report assets and liabilities within prescribed ranges, meaning Ocasio-Cortez could have substantially less than the maximum values associated with her accounts.
The filing shows between $15,001 and $50,000 in an Ally Bank savings account, which generated between $801 and $1,000 in interest during the reporting period. She also listed between $1,001 and $15,000 in a Charles Schwab checking account.
Ocasio-Cortez reported as much as $1,000 in a Charles Schwab brokerage account and between $1,001 and $15,000 in a tax-deferred 401(k) invested through T. Rowe Price. Using the upper end of each disclosed range, those holdings total approximately $66,000.
Her largest reported liability remains federal student loans from her years at Boston University, where she studied from 2007 through 2011. The disclosure places the outstanding balance between $15,001 and $50,000.
Ocasio-Cortez has served in Congress since January 2019 and receives the standard annual House salary of $174,000. Her continued student-loan balance is notable given her prominent role in the national debate over debt cancellation.
She has repeatedly supported broad federal student-debt relief, including efforts during the Biden administration to cancel substantial balances for borrowers. Ocasio-Cortez was among lawmakers who advocated forgiveness of as much as $50,000 in federal student loans for eligible Americans.
The disclosure doesn't specify how much she has repaid over the years or establish her exact current loan balance. Other lawmakers have also reported outstanding student debt, making such liabilities unusual but not unique among members of Congress.
At the same time, Ocasio-Cortez has disclosed a significant new personal expense. She recently said on Instagram that she is undergoing elective egg freezing, framing the procedure as an effort to preserve flexibility over when she might start a family.
"I got sworn into the House of Representatives when I was 29 years old," Ocasio-Cortez said. "There's this flip side where you have to then grow up in the public eye in a time that most people usually get to grow more privately."
Egg freezing can represent a substantial out-of-pocket expense. Treatment commonly costs roughly $10,000 to $20,000 for each cycle in the U.S., according to the supplied article, before accounting for medications and recurring storage expenses.
The economics can become more significant when patients undergo multiple cycles. A 2025 study published in Fertility and Sterility found that outcomes generally improved as the number of preserved eggs increased, with women under 40 recording the strongest pregnancy success rates when 20 or more eggs had been stored.
