The 6-to-3 decision stops the Biden administration from moving forward with plans to forgive up to $20,000 in student loans for eligible Americans. The Supreme Court’s decision striking down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan is “devastating” for millions of borrowers and likely will further complicate plans to restart student loan payments in two months, advocates said.

The U.S. Supreme Court dashed the hopes of 40 million student borrowers Friday, striking down President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program. The plan would have offered $10,000 of relief to borrowers making under $125,000 and $20,000 to those who had received Pell grants, for an estimated $430 billion of forgiveness. The court ruled 6-3 along partisan lines that a program with such a large impact was beyond the power of the Department of Education to enact without the approval of Congre

In a conclusion to one of the most consequential Supreme Court sessions in many years, the Court released an opinion today on the Biden administration’s proposed plan to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt per borrower. After dismissing one case due to lack of standing from the plaintiffs, the Court voted 6-3 to block forgiveness in the second case (giving standing based on the servicer MOHELA).
