News Student Loan Pause Extended to (no later than) June 30th

I'm confident that our student debt relief plan is legal. But it’s on hold because Republican officials want to block it. That's why
@SecCardona
is extending the payment pause to no later than June 30, 2023, giving the Supreme Court time to hear the case in its current term.
 
Just got an email from the Department of Education about the extension. This part is quite worrying, actually:

The student loan payment pause is extended until 60 days after the Department is permitted to implement the debt relief program, or the litigation is resolved. If the program has not been implemented and the litigation has not been resolved by June 30, 2023, payments will resume 60 days after that. We will notify borrowers before payments restart.

Looks like ol’ Joe is committed to screwing us one way or another, whether his program is allowed to happen or not.

That is worrying. But also the kind of language they've been using about the loan freeze since early 2021, so who knows.

There's a growing consensus that Joe announced this plan using precedents that would get it easily thrown out in court. They never had the intention to actually do it.

I know bots bumped this, but the house has passed a bill to make you back pay this latest extension and potentially revert the new PSLF payment options meaning any of those non qualifying payments that can now count would be reverted. This also would put thousands that have had forgiveness processed back in a deficit. Anyhow, it will be vetoed but thought I would put it out there.

Also, the republicans want you to know they are looking out for the plumbers and not the holder of a masters degree in gender studies (as if that’s bad. This was a quote from some rep btw).

This won’t get by the Senate either most likely, but yeah, it’s very telling. ‘Course, we may all be living in Mad Max times next week if the House succeeds in crashing the world economy anyway.

Most likely but could see some of the middle of the road Dems hoping over on this just based on constituents and upcoming elections.
 
Big sigh of relief, right? I remember when mine got paused last year, it was like a little financial breather.
