I'm watching the State of the Union, Biden lightly touched on his student loan forgiveness plans but I really didn't hear any new plans or ideas to help with the student loan crisis. Did I miss something or is he done working on the student debt issue?

I wish they would pass a 0% interest for student loans and allow those with current loans to refinance for a 0% student from the federal government.
Wages from places aren’t keeping up at all. Then the more time you need the interest slow creeps and balloons.

Canada has done this with their federal loans. 0% indefinitely now. But, no option to refinance loans with the feds.

I was forgiven for 130k. Thankfully they’ve found all of these loopholes, however, the widespread forgiveness keeps getting blocked

Yes, I am curious too! I have $72 K debt right now, ( it keeps growing)! I am 116/120 I need for forgiveness. I have the month of December that should count, but right now there is some BS that they are not giving anyone credit and put in deferment/forebearance because they forgot to send out a bill or some stupid thing. Welcome to Mohela. At least one hour waits on hold, to talk to a human. So I was laid off from my better paying Covid Grant job, that ran out of money. Now I am at a church for 30 hours a week, making 17.00 an hour with an MBA, so I can hopefully get this stupid thing done within the next 6 months. You must fulfill the 120 payments as well as being employed in nonprofit when you send in your final PSLF form for it to count! Then it has to be approved!!! It’s a lot. If they could fix some of these minor things but I don’t think people want to!

They were able to forgive millions of people. Supreme Court blocked them from doing more saying it's illegal and now they are even "unforgiving" some loans.

I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?
