Federal Student Loan Forbearance Extended Yet Again

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : "We applaud President Biden for extending this pause on student loan payments now and for affirming his intent to cancel student debt in the months ahead," Mike Pierce, executive director of the Student Borrower Protection Center, said in a statement.
51% : It comes down to basic math, explains Dave Christensen, a Wisconsin borrower who paid off about $30,000 in student loans during the pandemic pause.
50% : After nearly three years without student loan bills and an uncertain future for cancellation, however, not everyone should continue the payment holiday.
44% : The extension is a win for activists and borrowers who called on the Biden administration to extend forbearance after several legal challenges put the student debt cancellation plan on hold.
29% : But if the Supreme Court decides the fate of Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt per borrower before June 30, forbearance could end sooner.
