Application is open, but debt discharge is paused.
President Joe Biden announced that borrowers can apply for student debt relief earlier this Fall at studentaid.gov/debtrelief/

The Administration’s plan will provide up to $10,000 in relief to borrowers with federal student loans and up to $20,000 in relief to borrowers who were Pell Grant recipients. Borrowers who earned less than $125,000 as an individual or $250,000 as a household in 2020 or 2021 are eligible for relief.
The Administration’s plan will help borrowers who need relief the most as they recover from the pandemic and prepare to resume loan payments this January. Already, more than 8 million people have applied for relief – that’s 8 million people on their way to getting a little more breathing room.
· The Administration is providing up to $10,000 in federal student debt relief and up to $20,000 in relief if you received a Pell Grant.
