Student-loan borrowers didn't get a say in President Joe Biden's first plan to cancel their debt. But they do now.
On June 30, the Supreme Court struck down Biden's plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for federal borrowers. By a 6-3 ruling, the high court decided that the law the president used to enact the broad debt relief — the HEROES Act of 2003 — was an overreach of authority and cannot be used to wipe out loans for millions of Americans.
