"Biden Forgives Billions in Student Debt for Public Service Workers: What You Need to Know"
TL;DR
President Biden is waiving an additional $5.8 billion in student loans for 78,000 public service workers and plans to email 380,000 borrowers in the public sector to inform them of impending debt cancellation. This move has drawn criticism from Republicans, who accuse Biden of attempting to "buy votes" and claim that his loan forgiveness efforts have hindered the rollout of a new college financial aid form. Biden has been actively using executive tools to reach out to borrowers and has made reforms to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, expanding relief for millions of Americans.
