FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN DEBT RELIEF: The APPLICATION has been frozen and will not allow new filers. On August 24, 2022, President Biden announced that the federal government would cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt for eligible debtors. Numerous law suits have been filed to stop the loan cancellation but the government has gone ahead with the official launch of the application. Student loan payments have been deferred until 60 days after the Supreme Court decision or September 1, 203, whichever comes first.

The Biden administration is pursuing other avenues for student loan forgiveness, including new payment plans.
