Big Moment For Student Loan Forgiveness Is Just Around The Corner
The saga of President Biden’s signature one-time student loan forgiveness initiative is about to enter the next phase, as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments next week to decide the fate of the program.
Last year, Biden announced an unprecedented one-time initiative to enact mass student loan forgiveness. Under the program, up to 40 million borrowers could receive up to $20,000 in cancellation of government-owned federal student loans. Over 26 million borrowers had applied for debt relief, and over 16 million were approved, before federal courts shut down the initiative last fall in response to multiple legal challenges.
