The Supreme Court will hear a second challenge to President Biden's student loan forgiveness program setting oral arguments for late February or early March in a dispute brought by two borrowers with outstanding student loans.
The Supreme Court will hear a second challenge to President Biden's student loan forgiveness program, it said Monday, setting oral arguments for late February or early March in a dispute brought by two borrowers with outstanding student loans.
In both legal fights before the Supreme Court, lower courts blocked implementation of the student loan forgiveness program nationwide, leading the Justice Department to file emergency requests with the high court asking it to reinstate the plan. But the relief program remains on hold pending oral arguments in the two cases. The president last month extended his pause on federal student loan payment until June 30, giving the high court time to consider the disputes.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar asked the Supreme Court this month to reinstate the student loan forgiveness program or, if the court was not prepared to grant relief, hear the case along with the GOP states' challenge.
