Here's whose loans have been wiped clean as president takes relief total to $143.6 BILLION President Joe Biden announced even more student loan forgiveness on Thursday that will see 78,000 public service workers have their education debt wiped clean.
The nearly $6 billion in student loan relief applies to teachers, nurses and firefighters who, due to previous failures with the system, did not receive the forgiveness they were promised for going into public service.
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF) was created in 2007 and aimed to forgive student debt for Americans who entered jobs in public service – but most never received their promised relief.
Poster Comment:
Biden is moving the debt from the students to the government. He is not cancelling debt totals.
