The Education Department has so far approved 16 million student-loan borrowers for debt relief, Biden said.
But while they should be getting relief in the next few days, a GOP group stopped that from happening.
The relief is currently on pause until the 8th Circuit makes a final decision on the legality of the relief.
Millions of student-loan borrowers could be getting debt relief this week — but a group of Republicans are making sure that doesn't happen.
"That's 16 million Americans, so far, who should be seeing student debt relief in the coming days," Biden wrote.
Biden's debt relief plan has been hit with at least five other lawsuits seeking to block its implementation.
Still, the decision from the 8th Circuit looms, and until it comes, the Education Department cannot actually give borrowers relief. »
