The lawsuits concern relief for borrowers on income-driven repayment and those who applied for borrower defense. On top of that, borrowers are still reeling from the June Supreme Court decision that struck down President Joe Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for federal borrowers. The announcement was part of the department's one-time account adjustment to ensure borrowers payments are up to date, and those who completed more than the required payments would receive a refund. But just days later, a separate debt relief measure got blocked in court. The department has already notified borrowers of that relief, and it expects more will qualify.

The Fifth Circuit blocked Biden's new rules to ease the debt relief process for defrauded borrowers. The changes to borrower defense are now blocked as the legal process plays out. The rules would create a more streamlined application process for borrowers seeking debt relief, along with expanding the types of misconduct that would qualify a borrower for a loan discharge. "Defrauded borrowers are legally entitled to relief and their institutions should be held accountable," he said. For now, the department's new rules for borrower defense will be blocked as the legal process proceeds.

U.S. President Joe Biden speaks about his plans for continued student debt relief after a U.S. Supreme Court decision blocking his plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt, at the White House in Washington, U.S. June 30, 2023. The rule is separate from Biden's more sweeping student debt relief plan. The Supreme Court in June blocked his administration from canceling $430 billion in student loan debt for 43 million borrowers. The Democratic president has since announced plans to provide relief for student loan borrowers using a different approach. CCST sued in February after the Education Department in October finalized a rule changing a "borrower defense to repayment" program that allows students to seek debt relief if their schools mislead them.

A federal judge that blocked student-debt relief agreed to transfer a related case to a different court. The case was challenging a rule to help borrowers who say they were defrauded by their schools. The Education Department said it was filed in the wrong venue, and the Trump-appointed judge agreed in a rare win for the administration. On February 28, CCST filed an 87 page complaint against the Education Department, saying that the department's latest reforms to the borrower defense process creates a "framework with new federal standards, adjudicatory schemes, and evidentiary presumptions." Judge Reed O'Connor, who is in the same district as Pittman, ruled the Affordable Care Act invalid in 2018.
