Biden's campaign promise was $10k in student debt relief. He delivered. $20k in relief for low-income Pell Grant recipients is even better. For context: - More than half the people with student loans owe < $20k; 1/3 owe < $10k; - Median income of borrowers is $76k

In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023. I'll have more details this afternoon.
The Biden Administration's Student Loan Debt Plan: Forgiving debt: $20,000 if you went to college on Pell Grants $10,000 if you didn't receive Pell Grants Forgiveness only applies to those earling less than $125,000 Student loan pause extended one final time through Dec 31, 2022 Payment based on income: If you have undergraduate loans, you can cap repayment at 5% of your monthly income.
