The Supreme Court has agreed to review the Biden administration's effort to reinstate its student debt relief plan, but the justices declined to immediately revive the program while a decision is pending.

The administration is currently fending off two separate rulings issued in recent weeks that have effectively halted President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, which would give federal borrowers making less than $125,000 a year up to $10,000 in debt relief. The appeal to be heard by the justices arose after the St. Louis-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit halted the loan relief program. Read more here. |
