Biden-Harris Student Debt Relief
Visit studentaid.gov for the most recent updates on the recently announced Biden-Harris Administration student debt relief plan, including the one-time loan cancellation.
A Fresh Start for Federal Student Loan Borrowers in Default
The U.S. Department of Education announced an initiative—called “Fresh Start”—to help eligible borrowers in default. If your loans are eligible, you’ll temporarily regain several student aid benefits. You’ll also get the opportunity to get out of default and keep those benefits for the long term.
Fresh Start will continue through December 31, 2023 – one year after the COVID-19 payment pause ends.
