COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - The Biden Administration is canceling more than $6 billion worth of federal student debt.

Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Education said it has identified 100,000 borrowers eligible for the ‘Public Loan Forgiveness Program’.

The program launched 15 years ago, however the administration under Biden has made changes to it in October.

Now some borrowers have until October to apply for the forgiveness.

Don’t get excited, guys. There won’t be any student debt forgiveness until the day after I’ve paid off my student loan, so we’ve got another 17 years to go.

There are very strict requirements for this to apply to you

This is a weirdly uninformative article about changes to the PLSF program that were announced a few months ago I believe.
