One map shows how many student-loan borrowers could have gotten Biden's debt relief before lawsuits blocked his plan

• The White House released data showing how many student-loan borrowers applied for or were deemed eligible for Biden's debt relief.
• Per the data, 26 million applied or were deemed eligible, and 16 million of them were sent to loan servicers for discharge.
• This data was collected before two lawsuits blocked the implementation of the debt relief.

Millions of student-loan borrowers could have gotten reductions to their balances by now if lawsuits didn't block relief — and new data show just how many would have benefitted.
