The extension comes just a month before payments were set to resume, giving the administration an extra five months as the president urges the Supreme Court to review the case. Biden&#8217;s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in debt per applicant was temporarily blocked by an appeals court after challenges by six Republican-led states. A federal judge in Texas struck down the planned relief two weeks ago, calling Biden&#8217;s move illegal. &#8220;I&#8217;m completely confident my plan is legal,&#8221; Biden said in a video posted to Twitter. &#8220;But it isn&#8217;t fair to ask tens of millions of borrowers eligible for relief to resume their student debt payments while the courts consider the lawsuit.&#8221; Payments will resume earlier if the courts reinstate Biden&#8217;s plan or once the litigation is resolved,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Biden has extended the student loan payment pause until &#8220;no later than&#8221; June 30 following court challenges that have left his loan cancellation plan hanging in the balance.
