About the Student Loan Forgiveness Plan

On August 24th, President Biden announced a Student Debt Relief Plan. Below are some brief details about the plan, along with additional resources.

Student Loan Forgiveness Eligibility Criteria

Up to $10,000 in forgiveness if:

  • You’re a current federal student loan holder, (private student loans are excluded) AND…
  • You earn less than $125,000 a year or your household earns less than $250,000 a year.

Up to $20,000 in forgiveness if:

  • You’re also a Pell Grant recipient with loans held by the Department of Education (this is required for the additional forgiveness).

Note: Relief is capped at the amount outstanding (so you won’t get to pocket any extra money if you have less than $10,000 in federal student debt).

Also, the student loan payment pause has been extended through December 31, 2022.
