Insights

Debt Cancellation Overruled, What Now?

The one-time relief provided by the U.S. Department of Education as part of the Biden-Harris Administration student debt relief plan is blocked. This ruling leaves over 26 million people in complete limbo with their federal student loan debt. They expected $10,000 to $20,000 to be canceled from their student loan balance, and this dramatic change adds more stress to borrowers. Student loan payments will resume in January for the first time in almost three years. What now?

Another Student Loan Payment Pause

The student loan payment pause is extended again. Payments will begin once the U.S. Department of Education is permitted to implement the debt relief program, or all litigation is resolved. If this occurs before June 30, 2023, payments will resume 60 days after that date. If it is not implemented or resolved by June 30, 2023, then payments will begin after August 29, 2023.

Secure 2.0

The ever-changing landscape for student loan borrowers received another change. The recent announcement of the new Secure 2.0 Act has many facets to it. Some go into effect as early as December 31, 2022. Others go online starting in 2023, 2024 and beyond. In one particular section it provides very productive change in terms of the way employees save for their retirement and while having a large impact on student loan borrowers.
