No matter the stance on student loan debt, it's a persistent issue. Even with potential forgiveness, it's a drop in a vast bucket. LoanBYE doesn't erase student loan debt magically. Instead, we aid employers in building a financial roadmap for their staff towards financial wellness. Employees, advocate for this benefit from your employers. Employers, consider adding this benefit for a competitive edge and to foster a happier, more engaged workforce. #studentloans #studentloandebt #studentloanforgiveness

This headline, and thus your comment are misleading because if the article were read properly, these debt forgiveness programs are specifically for public workers who have already completed their required payment period and are still paying. example 1: The first is made up of borrowers who are public servants who have been paying on their debt for at least 10 years and are receiving their debt cancellation as part of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. example 2: The second category is borrowers who have been paying on their loans for at least 20 years. The federal student-loan program is designed so that borrowers shouldn’t be paying back their loans for more than 25 years. final: borrowers who are enrolled in SAVE. Through this plan, borrowers who took on $12,000 in student debt or less can have their debt cancelled after 10 years of payments. For each $1,000 originally borrowed, a year gets added to that timeline (for example, borrowers with $13,000 in loans have to pay for 11 years) with a maximum of 20 years for borrowers with only undergraduate debt and 25 years for borrowers with loans from graduate school.
The Biden administration announced it will forgive $7.4 billion in student debt for another 277,000 borrowers, its latest round of relief.

The White House is unveiling the Biden administration's latest plan to cancel student debt today, and it puts over 30 million Americans in line for at least some debt cancellation. It marks the second major attempt by the Biden administration at broad student loan forgiveness. This latest batch of proposals is far narrower in scope than Biden’s first forgiveness plan, which called for canceling up to $20,000 for borrowers earning less than $125,000 before it was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in June. For my latest in Money, I detail President Joe Biden's new plan. It includes several initiatives that target borrowers dealing with runaway interest, financial hardship, lingering debt after 20+ years of payments and more. The plan is undergoing an official rulemaking process and still requires a round of public feedback. Details could change depending on that feedback. The administration says its goal is to start delivering debt forgiveness by early this fall. While the administration says it's confident the new proposal is on strong legal footing and is in line with the Supreme Court's ruling on Biden's first major forgiveness plan, the White House is nonetheless gearing up for a legal fight, which could delay the forgiveness timeline by several months — or halt it entirely. #studentdebt #studentloanforgiveness #highered #forgiveness #studentloans #LITrendingTopics #personalfinance #higheredfinance https://lnkd.in/eNwfr9Mh

President Joe Biden and his administration are continuing their efforts to provide student debt relief to as many borrowers as possible. After the Supreme Court ruled against Biden’s plan for mass debt forgiveness last year, the administration began the process of enacting forgiveness through a different legal pathway — by amending the Higher Education Act through a process known as negotiated rulemaking. At this point in the process — which involves a number of discussions with various stakeholders including borrowers, advocacy groups, lawmakers and more — the rulemaking committee has identified five groups of borrowers who should be considered for debt relief. Borrowers who meet one or more of the following criteria would be eligible for debt relief under the current proposal: 1. Owe more than they borrowed 2. Have been repaying loans for 20 years or more 3. Attended institutions that haven’t demonstrated successful student outcomes 4. Are eligible for loan forgiveness but haven’t applied 5. Are experiencing financial hardship

The so-called Student Loan Relief Committee spent much of yesterday debating how the Biden administration could provide relief to federal student loan borrowers "experiencing hardship." As you can imagine, defining "hardship" proved to be quite difficult. However, after extensive discussion, here are some of the guidelines the Department of Education may ultimately use to provide debt relief to a wide range of borrowers: #StudentLoans #Students #CollegesAndUniversities #HigherEducation #StudentDebt

A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that pandemic-era stimulus payments and federal student loan payment pauses had a major impact on credit card debt in the United States. The report shows that more than three years post-pandemic, credit card debt has skyrocketed again — so much so that combined U.S. credit card balances have passed $1 trillion for the first time. “During the pandemic, the share of cardholders who paid off their credit card debt reached the highest in recent years,” the GAO report indicated. “Specifically, the share of all active accounts that carried a balance declined from 50% to 45% from April 2020 to December 2021." In this environment, account recovery professionals play an important role helping overburdened borrowers manage their debt. Effective agent training is key to their success.
