Democrats and advocates have argued the HEA would allow the education secretary to compromise, waive or release student loans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom where it stands now, we think the \u2026 Higher Education Act pathway that we talked about today is going to be a valid pathway that conforms with the major questions doctrine issue that the Supreme Court raised today,\u201d\u00a0said Bharat Ramamurti, deputy director for the National Economic Council.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_on_SCOTUSs_student_loans_ruling_from_The_Hill\"><\/span>More on SCOTUS\u2019s student loans ruling from The Hill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">Education Secretary Miguel Cardona told reporters that lawyers from his agency, the Department of Justice and the White House reviewed the new plan, weighed in, and believe the HEA pathway was legally available. But, he added, those lawyers did the same review before Biden introduced the program citing the HEROES Act.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>When pressed on why the administration is confident the alternative pathway would meet a conservative Supreme Court\u2019s muster, the officials reiterated that they want to fight for borrowers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to fight, we\u2019re going to keep fighting,\u201d Cardona said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to put the best legal argument forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Officials expressed confidence in this new pathway, while not making clear the full extent of why they believe this legal case can hold up in the conservative-leaning court when the other didn\u2019t. It is sure to be a target of Republicans again, despite the new justification for the program.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Their optimism was reminiscent of when Biden said in March he was confident in the legality of his original plan, though he said at the time he wasn\u2019t confident in the outcome of the Supreme Court decision.<\/p>\n<p>Biden directed his team to look at all available legal options for student debt cancellation when it became <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>arent the conservative-leaning court would strike down his plan, officials said Friday. This pathway is the \u201cfastest way to provide relief,\u201d Ramamurti said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re going with now. We think it\u2019s legally available,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The new HEA path will require a public comment and notice period before it could go into effect, and the process could go to the end of 2023. The Education Department sent out a notice Friday, the first step in the \u201cnegotiated rulemaking\u201d process, and the first public hearing on the matter will happen July 18 to get input from stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the White House stressed it was \u201ctaking action on multiple fronts to help\u201d borrowers after the Supreme Court ruling. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Advocates have groaned for months that the whole process has created confusion for borrowers, who are unsure when payments would resume and whether they will have some cancellation.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Biden on Friday\u00a0disputed the suggestion\u00a0that he gave student loan borrowers \u201cfalse hope\u201d when his program was struck down. He added that he thought the Supreme Court \u201cmisinterpreted the Constitution\u201d with their decision.<\/p>\n<p>The president announced a 12-month on-ramp for borrowers struggling to restart their loan repayments when they resume this fall.<\/p>\n<p>While interest will start accruing again for borrowers in September, the action is intended to remove the threat of default or harm to credit ratings because the Education Department won\u2019t refer borrowers who miss payments to collection agencies or credit bureaus for 12 months.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Student debt payments have been paused since March 2020 due to the pandemic, but in a deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to secure a debt ceiling agreement, Biden set in stone the resumption of repayments beginning in October.<\/p>\n<p>Cardona noted the on-ramp action is not an additional pause extension. The Biden administration has been criticized by Republicans for continuing to extend the repayment pause until he struck the deal limit deal this spring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis on-ramp is intended to support you, making it back to repayment with dignity,\u201d Cardona said. \u201cThis on-ramp is not a loan pause, it is a process in which we are going to support our borrowers \u2026 but we encourage payments to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
