The U.S. Department of Education released a breakdown of federal student loan forgiveness applications by congressional district on Friday.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Education released a breakdown ofon Friday, providing a new window into the demographics of borrowers seeking relief across both Republican and Democratic-represented districts.
The Department of Education received about 26 million applications for debt relief by the time a federal district court judge blocked the program in November. More than 16 million of those borrowers' applications were fully approved and more than 40 million borrowers would qualify for the program, according to the administration.
Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and South Carolina say that the Department of Education did not have the legal authority to issue such a cancellation. They argue that it violates the separation of powers and that Biden is using the pandemic as a pretext to mask his true goal of fulfilling a campaign promise to erase student-loan debt.
Earlier this month, 126 House Republicans — led by Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina and South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan — filed an amicus brief opposing the debt forgiveness effort.
