SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN STUDENT LOAN DEBT RELIEF PLAN; BIDEN TAKES NEW STEPS
- The Supreme Court — in a 6-to-3 vote — on Friday struck down a plan from the Biden Administration to cancel as much as $20,000 in student loans for borrowers making under $125,000 a year, saying that the federal government exceeded its authority with the plan, saying that under the government’s interpretation of the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act, it would have “virtually unlimited power” to rewrite the Education Act. The Biden Administration immediately set to work in trying to find other ways to lessen the student loan burden for individuals, announcing a new rulemaking and a new “onramp” process that will prohibit individuals who miss student loan payments from having information furnished to the credit reporting agencies or having their accounts placed with debt collection agencies.
