Biden's Loan Forgiveness Program Paused

Daniel Morgan

Updated – Oct 26th 2022

Last week a federal court put a temporary hold on the cancellation of federal student loans. Over 22 million borrowers have already applied for the Biden’s debt relief program. 

The appeal was granted by the 8th circuit U.S. Courts of Appeals. The injunction was filed by a group of six republican states hoping to block the forgiveness program altogether. 

The courts has not provided any information on when they will rule on the case. however it has been expedited on the motion. As of right now the courts has ordered the Biden administration to pause on canceling student loan debt under the program. Plans to start cancelling the debt was set to start as early as next week

The decision came a day after U.S. District Judge Henry E. Autrey, dismissed the states’ lawsuit for lack of standing. Earlier Thursday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied a separate request by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, working on behalf of a taxpayer’s association, to pause the program.

President Biden’s loan relief plan would discharge up to $10,000 in federal student debt for borrowers who earn up to $125,000 annually, or up to $250,000 for married couples. Borrowers who received Pell Grants are eligible for an additional $10,000 in forgiveness. Borrowers can apply until the end of 2023. 

Biden hopes of it being processed before a pause on student loan payments ends Dec. 31.

All Americans seeking student loan debt relief can apply for the student loan cancellation. But must understand their application will be used for the purposes of improving the the process and application for future applicates.

In August, President Joe Biden announced his decision to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for individuals making less than $125,000 a year or as much as $20,000 for eligible borrowers who were also Pell Grant recipients.

Individuals that apply for the debt cancellation in this “Beta” period will be emailed a confirmation that the application was received. However the debt relief application will not be processed until the formal application and site is released.

Some things to note....

Borrowers must have federally held student loans to qualify. In addition to federal Direct Loans used to pay for an undergraduate degree, federal PLUS loans borrowed by graduate students and parents may also be eligible if the borrower meets the income requirements.

Individuals with loans guaranteed by the federal government however are held by private lenders will not qualify as of right now. Programs like the Federal Family Education Loan program and Federal Perkins Loan program are also excluded from the forgiveness. These individuals would have needed to consolidate those loans into a Direct Loan by September 29th.

Here's The Application

What If You Don't Qualify For the Forgiveness Program

One program we can see with the process already. is that borrowers are not informed if the are eligible once they complete the application immediately. Leaving may feeling like they are approved, when in fact they may not. Borrowers will not be notified of this unfortune news until months later. This will leave borrowers feeling like they wasted their time when they could have used that time to investigate and seek other programs and help. 

Because of this, we encourage borrowers to contact a student loan company and have them review your loans and help you to find out if your loans will qualify.  A professional student loan company can assist in determining if your student loans have a chance at getting the Biden forgiveness. And if chances are that your loans will not qualify. They in many causes can direct you to other programs that my still be able to provide you with some debt relief or cancellation.
