Student Loan Forgiveness Decision
The Supreme Court has struck down President Biden's plan to discharge some or all federal student loan debt for tens of millions of Americans.
In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that the Biden Administration did not have authority under a 2003 federal law to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt.
The court's decision comes after federal student loan borrowers were told in August by President Biden that the U.S. government would cancel up to $20,000 of debt for anyone who had received a Pell Grant to attend college, and up to $10,000 for the vast majority of remaining borrowers. Biden's plan would have provided relief to most federal student loan borrowers – that’s over 40 million people. That's roughly one in eight Americans. Many adults that have student loan debt, signed up for it while still teenagers and didn’t even know how to balance a checkbook yet. While many felt strongly that taxpayers should not have to pay for the debt of others, I think we can all agree with the statement from NPR this week: “Whatever you think of Biden's proposal, at this moment, the collective disappointment and disillusionment of so many Americans are palpable and should be acknowledged.”
The student loan payments and interest that were previously on hold will begin again on Sept 1 of this year.
