The U.S. Supreme Court has reignited a pivotal case concerning the legality of a student loan forgiveness rule championed by the Biden administration, rekindling the debate over the executive branch's authority to alleviate educational debt.

The Supreme Court said Monday that a case over a Biden-era student loan forgiveness rule will resume—after the Trump administration briefly put the litigation on hold—which could affect thousands of borrowers who want to have their loans discharged after their schools closed or defrauded them.

MOHELA advised that reapplying for an income-driven repayment plan could speed up processing times amid a backlog.
