President Biden’s student-loan plan will reduce or wipe out the debt of millions of borrowers.
The plan eliminates up to $10,000 in federal-loan debt for individual borrowers with annual incomes of under $125,000 or couples who earn less than $250,000. Many borrowers will be eligible for total forgiveness up to $20,000 if they received Pell Grants, a form of federal financial aid awarded to students from low-income households.
