On Monday, President Biden announced the application for his student loan relief program is officially live.
The administration published a beta version of the application last week. Since its launch on Friday, more than 8 million borrowers have already applied for debt relief, with no reported glitches or crashes according to the White House.
“It’s easy. It’s fast,” Biden said in a press conference announcing the launch, noting applications take less than 5 minutes and can be done on desktop or phone.
“This is a game changer for millions of Americans to get moving.”
Biden’s plan is to cancel up to $10,000 in debt for those earning less than $125,000 per year and up to $20,000 for those who received Pell Grants.
