Biden Announces New Plan for Student Debt Relief

President biden announced a large-scale effort to help pay off federal student loans for more than 20 million borrowers..

Today, I’m proud to announce five major actions to continue to relieve student debt for more than 30 million Americans since I started my administration. And starting this fall, we plan to deliver up to $20,000 in interest relief to over 20 million borrowers and full forgiveness for millions more. [applause] I will never stop to deliver student debt relief and hardworking Americans. And it’s only in the interest of America that we do it. And again, it’s for the good of our economy that’s growing stronger and stronger, and it is, by freeing millions of Americans from this crushing debt of student debt. It means they can finally get on with their lives instead of being put — their lives being put on hold.

By Erica L. Green

Reporting from Washington

President Biden released details on Monday of his new student loan debt forgiveness plan for nearly 30 million borrowers.

The proposal still needs to be finalized and will have to withstand expected legal challenges, like the ones that doomed Mr. Biden’s first attempt to wipe out student debt on a large scale last year.

Biden administration officials said they could begin handing out some of the debt relief — including the canceling of up to $20,000 in interest — as soon as this fall if the new effort moves forward after the required, monthslong comment period.

Here’s what is known so far about the program:

Who would benefit from the new plan?

The plan would reduce payments for 25 million borrowers and erase all debt for more than four million Americans. Altogether, 10 million borrowers would see debt relief of $5,000 or more, officials said.

The groups affected include:

— Borrowers whose loan balances have ballooned because of interest would have up to $20,000 of their interest balance canceled. The plan would waive the entire interest balance for borrowers considered “low- and middle-income” who are enrolled in the administration’s income-driven repayment plans.

The interest forgiveness would be a one-time benefit, but would be the largest relief valve in the plan. The administration estimates that of the 25 million borrowers that could see relief under this waiver, 23 million would see their entire interest balance wiped out.

— Borrowers who are eligible for, but have not yet applied for, loan forgiveness under existing programs like Public Service Loan Forgiveness or the administration’s new repayment program, called SAVE, would have their debts automatically canceled.

— Borrowers with undergraduate student debt who started repaying their loans more than 20 years ago, and graduate students who started paying their debt 25 or more years ago, would have their debts canceled.

— Borrowers who enrolled in programs or colleges that lost federal funding because they cheated or defrauded students would have their debts waived. Students who attended institutions or programs that left them with mounds of debt but bleak earning or job prospects would also be eligible for relief.

— Borrowers who are experiencing “hardship” paying back their loans because of medical or child care costs would also be eligible for some type of relief. The administration has not yet determined how these borrowers would be identified, but is considering automatic forgiveness for those at risk of defaulting.

How is this different from the last plan?

Mr. Biden initially tried to grant $400 billion in debt relief for 40 million borrowers by using the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003, or HEROES Act, which the administration argued allowed the government to waive student debt during a national emergency like the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Supreme Court blocked that move , saying that Mr. Biden had exceeded his authority.

The new plan would forgive some or all loan debt for nearly 30 million borrowers under the Higher Education Act, the federal law that regulates student loan and grant programs. By targeting specific groups of borrowers — instead of offering broad loan forgiveness — the administration believes it can act within the narrower confines of that law.

The Biden administration said lawyers for the White House and the Education Department studied last year’s Supreme Court ruling and designed the new program to make sure it did not violate the principles laid out by the justices.

Still, there could be questions about whether the borrowers under the latest plan would be considered “limited,” as the Supreme Court said the Higher Education Act requires, or whether the administration again overstepped its authority.

What’s the timeline?

The new plan still needs to be published in the Federal Register, which then will start a monthslong public comment period. Administration officials have said they hoped some of the provisions would begin going into effect in “early fall.”

That could leave the debt relief plan unresolved as voters go to the polls in November to choose between Mr. Biden and former President Donald J. Trump.

But Biden campaign officials hope the latest effort will help rally voters who were sorely disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision last year.

Student loan forgiveness has a mixed track record. Last summer, the Supreme Court struck down a broad plan that would’ve erased up to $20,000 per borrower. Still, student loan forgiveness is more accessible now than ever before. A handful of existing federal student loan forgiveness programs have erased $143.6 billion in student debt for 3.96 million borrowers as of March 21, according to the Education Department, with more to come this year.

The White House is currently trying to push through a narrower forgiveness ‘Plan B’ version of its failed broad forgiveness plan. The proven paths to forgiveness, however, include programs that range from income-driven repayment (IDR) plans — which cap monthly bills at a percentage of your income and forgive your remaining balance after 10 to 25 years — to niche programs for borrowers with certain loan types, jobs or school circumstances.

Here’s how to get student loan forgiveness in 2024 — and what you need to know before pursuing this path.

Check your eligibility

You must have federal student loans to qualify for a forgiveness program. Private student loans aren’t eligible.

To verify you have federal loans, go to StudentAid.gov , and try to log in or recover your account.

Next, check which types of federal student loans you have. If you have certain types of loans, like commercially held FFELP or Perkins loans, you may have to consolidate them before going after forgiveness .

Income-driven repayment

The newest IDR plan — Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE — is the most accessible path to forgiveness. All borrowers with federal direct loans are eligible to enroll.

The SAVE plan forgives remaining student debt in as little as 10 years if you have an original balance of $12,000 or less, and in up to 20 or 25 years for other borrowers. While working toward forgiveness, your monthly bills could be $0 per month if you earn less than $32,800 as an individual or $67,500 as a family of four; otherwise, they’ll be capped at 5%-10% of your income.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness

If you work for a qualifying government or nonprofit employer, you could be eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) . This program erases your remaining balance after a decade of repayment.

“Generally, the PSLF program is the best one if you have access to it,” says Scott Stark, a financial coach and certified financial planner at Financial Finesse, a workplace financial wellness company.

Other forgiveness programs

Outside of IDR and PSLF, your student loan forgiveness options may include:

Teacher Loan Forgiveness , if you work in a qualifying low-income school. 

Borrower defense to repayment , if you think your school defrauded you. 

Closed school discharge , if your school closed during or shortly after your time there.

Perkins loan cancellation , if you have Perkins loans and work in public service.  

State-based student loan payment assistance , if you work in health care or are willing to relocate to a new area. 

Do the math

Use the Education Department’s loan simulator to see how much debt you could get erased under various forgiveness programs and repayment plans, how much your monthly payments could be and how long you’ll be in repayment.

If an IDR plan will result in you paying more interest for a longer period or paying off your debt before getting forgiveness, then it may not be a good choice for you. (Public Service Loan Forgiveness also requires enrollment in an IDR plan.)

“It really is a case-by-case kind of thing, but generally speaking, for people whose income is relatively high compared to their student debt loads, the income-driven repayment plans can be pretty unattractive,” says Tisa Silver Canady, founder of the Maryland Center for Collegiate Financial Wellness. “It might behoove them to just stay on a balance-driven plan and pay extra when they feel it makes sense.” Making extra payments toward the principal while on a balance-driven plan — like the standard 10-year plan , which splits your loan into 120 payments — allows you to shrink your debt faster and reduce total interest costs.

On the other hand, if the math for IDR works out such that borrowers can have smaller payments and keep more of their money to reach other financial goals, pursuing forgiveness is a good option, Stark says.

Prepare for a future tax bomb

IDR student loan forgiveness is exempt from federal taxes through 2025. After that, any amount forgiven could result in a student loan tax bomb . A small number of states tax IDR forgiveness, too.

It’s important to plan for a tax bomb if your forgiveness timeline will extend past 2025. Put a small amount of money aside each month to cover your future tax bill, Stark says.

Use the loan simulator to determine how much forgiveness you could ultimately receive: Your taxable income will increase by that amount in the year you get forgiveness. In some cases, the forgiveness could push you into a higher tax bracket, which could further increase your tax burden. If the amount you have to set aside each month to cover the tax bill is larger than the amount you’d save on the IDR plan, it might not be worth it.

Loan balances forgiven through PSLF, Teacher Loan Forgiveness, borrower defense to repayment, closed school discharge and Perkins loan cancellation are exempt from federal taxation.

Change your repayment plan

If you decide IDR forgiveness is the right choice, you must switch to an IDR plan like SAVE.

To sign up for an IDR plan, submit an online application at StudentAid.gov/IDR or call your student loan servicer.

You must also sign up for an IDR plan if you’re striving for PSLF. Choose the plan that gives you the smallest monthly bill to maximize the amount you could get forgiven after 10 years. It’s a good idea to submit your PSLF employer verification form each year to stay on track for forgiveness, Canady says. You can do this through the Education Department’s online PSLF Help Tool .

The jobs that pay little (or no) tax

Some people go to great lengths to avoid tax – but it comes for us all in some way shape or form.

Indeed, thanks to Jeremy Hunt’s tendency to see a tax threshold and freeze it, regardless of inflation eating away Britain’s wallets, today’s Conservative government is on track to be the biggest tax-increasing Parliament since records began. According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank, the nation’s tax burden is set to reach a 70-year high . 

But what if you could work without having to worry about paying taxes, or filling out the dreaded self-assessment form ? As it turns out, a handful of vocations do indeed allow for generous tax exemptions – although the privilege is often not without its downsides. 

Here, Telegraph Money reveals which jobs come with tax advantages – and the strict terms you’ll have to meet to get them.

Tax breaks for religious roles

Contrary to popular belief, religious leaders do pay tax. Guidance on the Church of England website, for example, urges ministers to fill out their tax return – as clergy are paid through a payroll.

Catholic priests, meanwhile, are regarded as officeholders for income tax purposes, and their remuneration is taxable as general earnings.

In cases where a religious leader lives, for their role, in accommodation that they don’t own, such as a vicarage, they are not usually personally liable to pay council tax because that is down to the building’s owner. The owner may ask them to contribute to the council tax costs, but this will vary on a case-by-case basis.

Nuns and monks do not pay council tax either if they live in a convent or monastery . To qualify, your main role must be in prayer, contemplation, education and/or the relief of suffering. You must also have no income apart from a pension from former employment, or any wealth that you had before taking the role.

Reduced tax for PhD students

Students studying for a PhD who receive a stipend for their research do not pay tax on it , and therefore it doesn’t need to be declared via self-assessment. However, any additional salary paid by a university to teach classes, or pay received while acting as a research assistant, for instance, is taxable.

The typical range for a PhD stipend is between £15,000 to £18,000, although some can be far more generous. 

You may also be off the hook for council tax; PhD students living in university halls of residence do not need to pay it. If you live elsewhere, and live with only other full-time students (studying for at least 21 hours a week, on a course at least a year long) the whole household will be exempt from council tax.

However, if just one person in the household has to pay council tax, the property will no longer be exempt – but you might qualify for a discount instead.

Seafarers can keep more of their salary

If you really want to escape tax, your best bet is to head out to sea. Seafarers benefit from a rare form of tax relief, appropriately named the Seafarers’ Earnings Deduction, where you can claim back 100pc of the tax paid on onboard earnings.

To qualify, you must have worked on a ship (so this doesn’t apply to oil rig workers), and be at sea for a certain amount of time outside the UK. How long do you have to spend at sea to claim back that sweet tax relief? Oh, only a year. 

HM Revenue and Customs advises that seafarers keep a robust record of any hotel receipts, travel vouchers, passports, visas and logs of the ships on which they serve. The taxman may also contact their employer to confirm that they actually did work on the ship. 

Notably, the Seafarers’ Earnings Deduction is tax relief – this means income is still taxable at the time it’s received, and seafarers have to claim the tax back after the fact via self-assessment. 

Trade unions had long fought with HMRC for the SED, and many seafarers still forget to claim it. 

Unlike the aforementioned clergymen and students, some seafarers are relatively well-remunerated. A Chief Steward on a yacht could expect a monthly pay of between £1,700 and £3,000, according to trade publication Superyacht UK. For captains, monthly pay can reach as high as £10,000 for those who are very experienced.

You can apply to all programs at the same time or add a program after you have submitted your application. Please note: You may apply up to a maximum of three programs per term. Applications to additional programs in a single term will not be considered.

Technical Requirements

The online application supports the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. The application uses Cookies, JavaScript and Pop-up windows, so please be sure all are enabled within your browser. (The default setting is “On” so it is unlikely that you will need to make any changes.)

Dates and Deadlines

Most graduate departments will indicate if their deadline refers to the date by which only the application must be received, or if the deadline applies to all supporting materials as well. In most cases, it is understood that some supporting materials will arrive later. This may not be a problem as long as they arrive within a reasonable period of time.

• PhD Programs: The priority deadline for Ph.D. applicants is December 1 . However, many of our doctoral programs, such as the ones offered by the Viterbi School of Engineering and the School of Cinematic Arts , have different deadlines. Please refer to their websites for deadline information.
• Master’s and Graduate Certificate Programs: All deadlines for USC master’s and graduate certificate programs are set by individual academic departments. These deadlines may vary from program to program and are subject to change. Please check with your intended graduate department directly for this information.

Additional Help

Please contact us if you experience difficulties while completing your application or have questions about submitting your application.

Step 3: Pay your Application Fees

The application fee is $90 for all graduate programs, except those offered by the Marshall School of Business ($155) and the International Academy’s Pre-Master’s program ($175). We accept payments via Visa, MasterCard and Discover card.

Fee Waivers: You will be able to request a fee waiver only after you have started (but not submitted) your online application and indicated your program of interest. You will be asked for documentation to verify your eligibility for a waiver. If your request is approved, you will then be able to submit your application and skip payment of the application fee. Please refer to our Fee Waivers page to see if you are eligible.

Step 4: Provide Program Materials

In addition to transcripts and test scores, most USC graduate programs require supplemental materials for admission review. These materials may include (but are not limited to) a statement of intent, recommendations, writing samples, creative portfolio, etc. Supplemental materials are reviewed by the department only, not the Office of Graduate Admission.

To verify what supplemental materials are required by your program of interest and how to submit them, refer to their homepage or to the instructions on the “Program Materials” quadrant on the application. In most cases, they can be submitted via the application.

Some programs may require that you submit your supplemental materials via Slideroom. You will receive instructions on our application or directly from your department if this is the case.

If any materials need to be mailed, the postal address will be provided on the department website. (This is usually not the same address to which you send your transcripts.)

Please contact your intended graduate program with any questions regarding supplemental materials.

After You Apply:

Your USC ID Number : You will receive your 10-digit USC ID via email within two to three business days after submitting your online application. Please keep this ID on record and make sure to include it in all your communication with USC. You will also need to include it when mailing any documents to the university.

It is important to note that your 10-digit USC ID is different from the USC CAS ID you will receive when you begin your application. The CAS ID is required for only technical support during the application process and is not issued by the university.

Step 5: Submit your Official Transcripts

You will need to have your official transcripts sent to USC, with any university seals or security features intact. Please note: Unofficial transcripts from university student portals are not acceptable. Please refer to our detailed guidelines .

Make sure to also upload copies of your university-issued transcripts (issued on official letterhead) to your online application. These copies are considered unofficial but can help speed application review.

Step 6: Submit your Official Test Scores

Most USC graduate programs require either GRE or GMAT scores. Please review your program’s website for their test score requirements. Make sure to include your test scores as part of your application. Once you submit your application, you will be able to return to it to add additional test scores if necessary.

Only scores received electronically from the testing service are considered official. USC does not accept self-reported test scores or paper scores sent via postal mail.

If you are sending GRE scores: USC’s ETS school code is 4852 . Use this code to ensure that USC receives your official test results. No department code is required.

If you are sending GMAT scores : Select “University of Southern California” from the list of available schools and refer to your intended program for their program code.

Video Tutorial: Entering Your Standardized Test Scores

For additional tips, tricks and advice, please view our video tutorial, “Entering Your Standardized Test Scores.”

Step 7: Track your Application Status

Our admission processing center receives a high volume of materials during the peak admission period (November through May). During these months, please allow approximately 15 business days from the date of receipt of your official academic records to process these documents and match them to your application in our database.

Graduate applicants are responsible for properly submitting all items required for review and responding promptly to requests for additional materials or information. Once you submit your application, all notifications regarding any missing transcripts or other required materials will be emailed to you. Therefore, it is important that you regularly check the email address you provided on the application.

Please note: You will not receive confirmation emails when specific materials have been received.

Step 8: View Your Decision

While the Office of Graduate Admission processes all graduate applications, admission decisions are ultimately made by the program to which you applied. Once the admission committee for your intended program of study has completed the review process, you will receive an email notification from the Office of Graduate Admission informing you that a decision has been made.

The length of time required to make a decision varies by the program, type of degree, and the size of the applicant pool. Most applicants to the fall term receive decision notifications by June. Most applicants to the spring term receive decision notifications by December.

When you receive your decision notification, follow the instructions on the email to register for and view your decision at youSC .

We offer specific coursework that will prepare you to pass the first two written exams and all three VEE exams . This is more than enough to get an entry level actuarial position, after which you can continue to study for and pass additional exams while you earn.

Can I combine data science and actuarial science?

Absolutely! The SOA's Predictive Analytics Exam topic list matches up perfectly with the content of our Data Science courses. At SDSU, you can build a program of study that combines both and thus prepares you for the most exciting opportunities in the modern actuarial science professional world.

Financial Mathematics - It's Not Just For Actuaries Any More!

For many years, actuarial science (primarily the use of mathematics and statistics in the insurance industry) has been ranked one of the nation's top careers. Now the rest of the financial industry and many other industries and businesses have caught on to the value mathematics and statistics can have for them. The result is the field of Financial Mathematics.

Can SDSU prepare me for a career in financial mathematics?

Absolutely. We have a strong financial mathematics program whose graduates are sought after by regional employers. Our financial mathematics faculty are excellent teachers and have active research programs that feature extensive undergraduate and graduate student involvement.

What do financial mathematicians do?

Check which jobs are on the immigration salary list in each area of the UK. 

If your job is on the list, the minimum salary is 80% of the route’s usual minimum rate  to qualify for a Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visa . 

The annual salaries for these jobs are based on a 37.5-hour working week. They must be pro-rated for other working patterns, based on the weekly working hours stated by your employer.

If you do not know your code, you can search for your job in the  CASCOT occupation coding tool .

If you qualify for the standard rate, because you got your certificate of sponsorship after 4 April 2024, you should look at the “standard rate” column. 

If you qualify for the lower rate, you should look in the “lower rate” column. 

You qualify for the lower rate if either:   

• you are applying for a Health and Care Worker Visa in certain occupations
• you got your certificate of sponsorship for this visa application before 4 April 2024  
• you got your certificate of sponsorship for your first Skilled Worker visa before 4 April 2024 and have continually held one or more Skilled Worker visas since then
