The Biden Administration announced $39 billion in automatic loan forgiveness to 804,000, according to a July 14 press release from the U.S. Department of Education.
This wave of student loan forgiveness is separate from the forgiveness plan outlined in August 2022 that the Supreme Court recently struck down in June 2023.
Under Secretary James Kvaal said in the statement that "millions of borrowers had earned loan forgiveness but never received it."
