President Joe Biden is canceling some student debt for millions of Americans. Biden’s plan calls for thousands of dollars in loan cancellations for those who earn less than $125,000 a year. For those who went to college on Pell Grants, $20,000 will be forgiven. Those who did not receive that grant will see $10,000 in debt forgiveness. People with undergraduate loans can cap their repayment at 5% of their monthly income. The move will be the largest forgiveness for individual student debt ever. In addition, the student loan payment pause is being extended one final time, Biden said on Twitter, to Dec. 31, 2022.
