“#Schumer urges Biden to cancel portion of student loan debt<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n President-elect Joe Biden should issue an executive order to cancel college student debt when he gets control of the White House, Sen. Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting rid of student debt. I have a proposal with [Massachusetts Sen.] Elizabeth Warren that the first $50,000 of debt be vanquished, and we believe that Joe Biden can do that with the pen as opposed to legislation,\u201d Schumer said during an interview with The.Ink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his own press release, the New York senator said his plan would provide complete forgiveness of student loans for more than 75% of borrowers across the country and at least some debt forgiveness for 95% of people with student loan debt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is especially good news<\/a> for the nearly 2.4 million New Yorkers with outstanding student loans and a cumulative debt of $89.5 billion as of March 2020,\u201d Schumer said.<\/p>\n

Schumer said addressing the student loan crisis will be one of the first actions he will prioritize in the new 117th Congress in January.<\/p>\n

But, according to Schumer, a President Biden would not have to wait for legislative action.<\/p>\n

He said Biden should use existing executive authority under the Higher Education Act to substantially cancel student loan debt and ensure there is no tax liability for federal student loan borrowers resulting from debt collection.<\/p>\n

He said Biden should recognize the Secretary of Education\u2019s administrative authority to cancel Federal student loan debt under the Higher Education Act of 1965.<\/p>\n

Schumer also encouraged the incoming president to continue the pause of payments of federal student loans during the duration of the pandemic. In the past he has urged at least $10,000 of federal student loans be forgiven because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The senior senator previously proposed measures to enable college students to refinance their loans\u00a0at lower interest and provide them with transit discounts.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
