BOSTON (WHDH) – The Massachusetts Acting Attorney General is showing her support for the Biden Administration’s plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student loan debt.
Acting AG Elizabeth Dewar wrote a brief to the Supreme Court, saying in part:
“The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense financial harm to millions of families and borrowers. The Biden Administration’s debt cancellation plan will help prevent student loan borrowers from needlessly suffering even more pandemic-related economic harm, including the devastating cascade of harms that follow from default.”
The plan to cancel student loan debt was put on hold by a federal court last year.
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the case in late February.
