Round-up: Biden Administration Extends Student Loan Payment Pause Through June 30 - November 28, 2022

November 28, 2022

The Biden Administration extended the COVID pandemic-related pause on student loan repayment, interest and collections through June 30, 2023 pending the results of the Supreme Court review of lower-court orders halting the president’s student debt relief plan.  Payments will resume 60 days after the decision or on September 1, 2023.  
 
More than 26 million have applied for debt relief, and 16 million borrowers have been approved by the Education Department. Court orders from judges in two different lawsuits are blocking the Department from discharging student loan debt and accepting additional applications.
