In a recent move, the Biden administration cleared an additional $5 billion of student loan debt, providing financial relief to approximately 74,000 borrowers, as indicated in a recent press release from the White House.

Biden expressed that many of these borrowers belong to the public sector - esteemed teachers, brave firefighters, individuals who have dedicated a decade of their lives to public service. There is an astonishing number of nearly 30,000 borrowers who, despite dedicating 20 years of their life to repaying their debts, have not yet seen the relief brought about by income-driven repayment schemes.

This latest round of student debt forgiveness has taken the running total under the Biden reign to a staggering $136.6 billion, providing much needed relief to over 3.7 million Americans, according to the figures provided by the Department of Education. This move comes after the U.S. Supreme Court previously halted an expansive student loan forgiveness effort by Biden, which would have put the federal budget on the hook for over $400 billion.

President Biden reflected on the promise he made in the inception of his tenure, acknowledging his commitment to refining the student loan system in order to transform higher education into a launching pad for opportunity and prosperity, rather than a source of crippling debt. ‘I won’t shy away from using each and every available resource to ensure student borrowers get the debt relief they need to realize their dreams,’ Biden stated.
