The Biden administration has opened the application process for Americans seeking student debt relief in a beta period starting Friday evening, allowing applicants to begin signing up before the website is formally unveiled later this month.
In August, President Joe Biden announced his decision to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for individuals making less than $125,000 a year or as much as $20,000 for eligible borrowers who were also Pell Grant recipients. “Tonight, the Department of Education will begin beta testing the student debt relief website.
This testing period will allow the Department to monitor site performance through real-world use, test the site ahead of the official application launch, refine processes, and uncover any possible bugs prior to official launch.
