Biden announces $1.2 million in student loan forgiveness

About 153,000 student loan borrowers enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education plan will receive emails from President Biden Wednesday telling them that their debts are being forgiven. The administration is forgiving around $1.2 billion in debt overall after the Supreme Court rejected an earlier plan to forgive student loan debt.
