President Biden has unilaterally canceled an additional $1.2 billion in student debt for nearly 153,000 borrowers, the White House announced on Feb. 21, 2024.
The White House on Wednesday announced that President Biden has canceled another $1.2 billion in student loan debt for more than 150,000 borrowers earlier than expected. In an executive action that was originally planned for July, Biden has activated a Savings on Valuable Education plan policy that cancels debt for enrolled borrowers who have been in repayment for at least 10 years and hold $12,000 or less in student loan debt.
