Student loan borrowers lose faith in Biden’s forgiveness plan

For student loan borrowers, President Joe Biden’s forgiveness plan seemed too good to be true. And now they fear that maybe it was.

Earlier this month, a federal judge in Texas struck down the program, the latest blow in a series of legal challenges that have upended the initiative. Borrowers are currently unable to submit applications to have up to $20,000 forgiven, and with the almost three-year freeze on required loan payments scheduled to end Dec. 31, they’re losing hope that the debt relief will ever happen.
