Biden Cancels $74 Billion in Student Debt
Approval of Additional Loan Relief for 777,000 Borrowers
Online Application Provides Easy Request Mechanism
The Biden-Harris Administration announced the approval of $58 billion in additional student loan debt relief for 777,000 borrowers. The administration is using existing student loan forgiveness programs to cancel this debt, providing relief to a large number of borrowers.
This latest round of debt cancellation is part of President Biden's first student loan forgiveness plan, which had an online application process. The online application made it easy for borrowers to request relief, and the process will continue to be streamlined in the future.
The Department of Education will implement the remaining full benefits of the SAVE Plan in July 2024, which will further reduce monthly payments from borrowers.
Relief for Low- and Middle-Income Borrowers
The Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan is targeted towards low- and middle-income borrowers. The plan cancels debt for borrowers who earn less than $125,000 per year and have received Pell Grants. This relief is designed to help borrowers who are struggling to repay their student loans.
Conclusion
The Biden administration's student loan forgiveness plan is a significant step towards providing relief to borrowers. The plan will cancel $58 billion in debt for 777,000 borrowers, and it will continue to provide relief through the SAVE Plan in July 2024. This relief will help borrowers who are struggling to repay their student loans and will make it easier for them to achieve their financial goals.
