Biden’s initial debt relief plan, which was upheld by the Supreme Court and is one of his key 2020 campaign promises, called for forgiving up to $20,000 per borrower and would have eliminated more than $400 billion in debt.
Students interpret this decision by the Supreme Court of the United States as another issue related to the state of student loans, and Biden responded by announcing the Saving on a Valuable Education plan later that day.
What is happening with student loans is a common question among students, and the SAVE plan will address it. The SAVE repayment plan, according to the Biden administration, is the most affordable one ever devised. Since the SAVE plan will increase the income exemption from 150% to 225% above the poverty line, the situation with student loans won’t be one of frustration but rather of hope. It means that people making less than $32,805 a year and families of 4 making less than $67,500 a year are not eligible for any payments. What is the current state of student loans? Do not fret, however, as borrowers earning above these levels will still save at least $1,000 annually when compared to the existing income-driven repayment plans.
