Biden's plan to forgive student loans could cost more than $1 trillion, per an analysis. Under the plan, around 20 million borrowers would eligible to have their full debt wiped out. The plan also included extending student loan forbearance to the end of the year, which the model estimates would cost another $16 billion. That additional $520 billion would take the total costs of the student loan forgiveness plan to over $1 trillion, Wharton said. Americans currently have a collective student loan debt of around $1.6 trillion, per federal data.
Sarah had $86,000 in student loans by the time she graduated and qualifies for forgiveness. All the money I'd paid had gone toward the interest on the loans, and that really freaked me out. I ended up taking a second job as a contract worker to pay my loans. My brother is laser-focused on graduating and getting into his chosen field, so I think student debt is the last thing on his mind right now. Even if one day I paid off all my loans and 30 days later, all student loans were forgiven, I would still be happy.

However, closing a student-loan account after loan forgiveness may ding your credit score initially. What does student-loan forgiveness mean for your credit score? Additionally, your credit mix accounts for 10% of your credit score and is made up of both revolving and installment credit. Your payment history makes up a significant percentage of your credit score, and lenders prefer to see consistent and reliable past payments. The bottom lineWhile some borrowers may see their credit score take a short-term hit after student-loan forgiveness, the financial benefits far outweigh any negative impact.

He says he was still paying off his student loans while serving as a Cabinet member. President Biden should use his executive authority to unilaterally cancel student debt for each borrower. I was still paying off my own student loans while serving as US Secretary of Education for President Obama. Some have argued that it would be odd to cancel student debt retroactively without solving the problem going forward. Republican A. Wayne Johnson, former Federal Student Aid chief, proposed canceling up to $50,000 of student debt for each borrower.
