'If you haven't yet,' said RepJayapal, 'today is a great day to apply for student loan cancelation!'
"If you haven't yet," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal,"today is a great day to apply for student loan cancelation!"President Joe Biden on Monday afternoon unveiled the fully operational online portal for his student loan debt forgiven program that will cancel up to $20,000 in federal loans for some borrowers.
"This is a game changer for millions of Americans," said Biden in remarks from the White House,"and it took an incredible amount of effort to get this website done in such a short time." While the administration launched a beta version of the site Friday, the official online portal is now available to all eligible borrowers who want to apply for federal student loan debt forgiveness.
According to the White House, more than 8 million people accessed the beta website over the weekend to explore the information or fill out the application. The welcome page states that eligible borrowers can apply starting today, but must do so"no later than Dec. 31, 2023." Rep. Ilhan Omar was among congressional lawmakers saying that she has already had many constituents applaud the forgiveness program and the application process.
