Those with several student loans who apply for so-called loan consolidation by June 30 — a move that packages multiple federal student loans into a single new loan — may benefit from the temporary policy.
Student loan borrowers have until the end of June to meet a deadline that could lead to quicker debt forgiveness.
Many student loan borrowers have multiple education loans, either because they borrowed repeatedly throughout college or returned to school at some point.
"Many borrowers will get complete debt cancellation, particularly those who have been paying for over twenty years," Fox said.
Usually, a student loan consolidation restarts a borrower's forgiveness timeline to zero, making it a terrible move for those working toward cancellation.
