Nov 30 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Wednesday declined to put on hold a Texas judge's ruling that said President Joe Biden's plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Biden administration's request to pause a judge's Nov. 10 order vacating the $400 billion student debt relief program in a lawsuit pursued by a conservative advocacy group. Circuit Court of Appeals that, at the request of six Republican-led states, had barred it from cancelling student loans. Biden announced in August that the U.S. government would forgive up to $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers making less than $125,000 a year, or $250,000 for married couples. About 26 million Americans have applied for student loan forgiveness, and the U.S. Department of Education had already approved requests from 16 million by the time Pittman issued his ruling.
In the past two months, student loan forgiveness has been the target of two high-profile lawsuits. Meanwhile, the Biden administration responded by extending the student loan payment pause yet again. What's happening to student loan forgiveness? Since the status of student loan forgiveness remains in the air, the Biden administration has extended the student loan payment pause until the Supreme Court makes a ruling. Select ranked SoFi Student Loan Refinancing and Earnest Student Loan Refinancing as some of the best companies for refinancing student loans.
After appearing to clear a number of other legal hurdles, President Joe Biden's student debt forgiveness plan has been blocked. If the president's appeal in Texas is successful, it's likely the plaintiffs will escalate the case to the Supreme Court or vice versa. Still, federal judges are appointed by elected officials, and it so happens the judges striking down Biden's debt forgiveness were nominated by Republican presidents. Aside from appealing in Texas, the president has not yet announced next steps for the debt forgiveness plan or other relief for borrowers. The 8th Circuit Court's decision to keep the block on debt forgiveness for now adds to the likelihood of a Supreme Court case, she says.
A federal judge in Texas on Thursday ruled that President Joe Biden’s plan to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt was unlawful and must be vacated, delivering a victory to conservative opponents of the program. The debt relief plan had already been temporarily blocked by the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. About 26 million Americans have applied for student loan forgiveness, and the U.S. Department of Education has already approved requests from 16 million. The plan, announced in August, calls for forgiving up to $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers making less than $125,000 per year, or $250,000 for married couples. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office in September calculated the debt forgiveness would eliminate about $430 billion of the $1.6 trillion in outstanding student debt and that over 40 million people were eligible to benefit.

Biden's Education Department has stopped accepting applications for student-loan forgiveness. The announcement came after a US District judge ruled on Thursday that the debt relief program was illegal. "Courts have issued orders blocking our student debt relief program," according to a note on the forgiveness application page. The Education Department said in a statement following the ruling that the Department of Justice has filed an appeal. Cardona added: "Amidst efforts to block our debt relief program, we are not standing down."
U.S. President Joe Biden is flanked by U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona as he speaks about administration plans to forgive federal student loan debt during remarks in the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington, U.S., August 24, 2022. The Biden administration has stopped accepting applications for federal student loan forgiveness after a court struck down its plan on Thursday evening. "Courts have issued orders blocking our student debt relief program," according to a note on the forgiveness application page at Studentaid.gov. "Amidst efforts to block our debt relief program, we are not standing down." "Judge Pittman's decision was about as wrong and weird as any federal court ruling I can recall reading," Tribe said.
A federal judge in Texas struck down Biden's student-loan forgiveness on Thursday. It's in response to a lawsuit filed by two student-loan borrowers who didn't qualify for the relief. This is the most serious legal setback to Biden's debt relief so far. This was in response to a lawsuit filed by two student-loan borrowers, Myra Brown and Alexander Taylor, represented by conservative group the Job Creators Network, who sued because they were left out of debt relief. "Today, a federal judge conspired with right-wing politicians and corrupt corporations to block life-changing student debt relief for tens of millions of families," executive director of advocacy group Student Borrower Protection Center Mike Pierce said in a statement.

Kristopher Cabreira doesn't qualify for Biden's student-debt relief because he has FFEL loans. While FFEL loans initially qualified, Biden reversed the guidance on September 29. But a decision the Education Department made on September 29 dashed all of his plans. Cabreira's student loans are federal loans managed by private banks within the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. "There's been no response from the Education Department, the White House, or even any Democrats," Cabreira said.
Miguel Cardona says student debt relief is "moving full speed" despite a temporary hold on the plan. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday issued an administrative stay for the relief plan. "Already, 22 million people have provided the department with the necessary information we need to review their eligibility for student debt relief." In framing the debt relief plan as one that would benefit working and middle-class families, Cardona criticized efforts by several Republican attorneys general to invalidate Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan. The Biden administration also faces legal challenges from Arizona GOP Attorney General Mark Brnovich, the Job Creators Network Foundation, and the Cato Institute over its debt relief plan.
Biden's student-loan forgiveness is facing at least six lawsuits from conservative groups. The administration faces at least six major lawsuits seeking to halt Biden's debt relief plan. For now, borrowers can still continue applying for debt relief on the studentaid.gov website that will close in December 2023. On September 27, the Pacific Legal Foundation — a conservative nonprofit legal organization — helmed the first major lawsuit against Biden's debt relief. On October 19, WILL asked the Supreme Court to halt Biden's debt relief will waiting for a decision on its appeal.
The Job Creators Network just filed a lawsuit attempting to block Biden's student-loan forgiveness. It's at least the fifth conservative lawsuit seeking to halt the debt relief. The group argued the policy was decided in secret with the goal of implementation before the midterms. By blocking this inflationary taxpayer bailout, JCN's lawsuit can lay the groundwork to actually solve the student debt crisis by holding its college perpetrators accountable." The other is suing because her commercially-held student loans do not currently qualify for Biden's loan forgiveness.
