These public service workers have dedicated their careers to serving their communities, but because of past administrative failures, never got the relief they were entitled to under the law, President Joe Biden, via statement.

Because of the fixes my administration has made, we have now canceled student debt for over 870,000 public service workers ā€” compared to only about 7,000 public service borrowers ever receiving forgiveness prior to my administration, President Joe Biden, via statement.

Those who are eligible for this round of student loan forgiveness will receive an email next week.

Thousands more who are enrolled in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program will receive emails "if they are within two years of having their debt forgiven," NPR reports.

The announcement comes as the president travels the country to campaign for reelection.

From day one of my administration, I promised to fix broken student loan programs and make sure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier to opportunity, President Joe Biden, via statement.

I won't back down from using every tool at my disposal to deliver student debt relief to more Americans, and build an economy from the middle out and bottom up, President Joe Biden, via statement

House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown; Senate Vote & Bidenā€™s Approval Next

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden.
