Supreme Court asked to support Biden’s SAVE student loan repayment program as Republican-led states challenge its legality

The Biden administration has asked the Supreme Court to support its student loan repayment program, SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education), despite challenges from Republican-led states. This program aims to help about three million borrowers by reducing their monthly payments. It’s facing legal obstacles, even though a court in Denver recently allowed it to proceed. The administration says stopping SAVE would harm borrowers a lot disrupt their lower payments and confuse them about their loan status.

SAVE was started by the Department of Education last year after the Supreme Court rejected a bigger plan to forgive student loans. It helps low-income borrowers by lowering their monthly payments and offering quicker ways to forgive their debt compared to other repayment plans. Despite ongoing legal fights that have paused more forgiveness and millions of people are still benefiting from SAVE. This shows how important it is as the country debates how to handle student debt, according to the report of CNN.
