In the months since Biden's student loan forgiveness program was announced, federal student loan holders have been left in the dark about if and when their debt could be canceled after several challenges came forward.
Light illuminates part of the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022.
Now, the case is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court where the justices are scheduled to hear arguments in February before ultimately deciding the program’s fate. Under the program, individuals who are single and earn under $125,000 qualify for $10,000 in debt cancellation. Married couples who file taxes jointly qualify if their income is under $250,000.
In response, the U.S. Justice Department filed an emergency application asking Supreme Court justices to lift the injunction. However, the justices ultimately decided to leave the injunction in place, blocking the program as the case makes its way through the courts. The Supreme Court will hear the case Feb. 28.Given the court case, applications for debt relief are no longer being accepted by the U.S. Department of Education, which manages the government’s $1.6 trillion student debt portfolio.
