Biden to email 150k student loan borrowers, reminding them he relieved their burden
President Biden Sends Personal Email to Student Loan Borrowers
In a move to ensure that student loan borrowers are aware of his efforts to alleviate their financial burden, President Biden will personally email over 150,000 borrowers, reminding them of his commitment to their cause.
According to Politico, this plan to forgive the borrowers’ loans will cost American taxpayers $1.2 billion. Since taking office in 2021, the Biden administration has already canceled $138 billion in debt for nearly 4 million borrowers.
The email sent by President Biden states, “Congratulations—all or a portion of your federal student loans will be forgiven because you qualify for early loan forgiveness under my Administration’s SAVE Plan. From day one of my Administration, I vowed to fix student loan programs so higher education can be a ticket to the middle class—not a barrier to opportunity.”
More Achievements and Benefits
This action is on top of everything else my Administration has achieved for students and borrowers. We have already approved nearly $137 billion in debt cancellation for 3.7 million borrowers through various actions, secured the largest increase to Pell Grants in a decade, fixed the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program so borrowers who go into public service get the relief they are entitled to under the law, and we are pursuing a new path to deliver more debt relief to as many borrowers as possible.
A senior administration official stated that these emails are an important way to communicate with borrowers, raise awareness about the benefits being offered, and encourage more borrowers to take advantage of them.
Last September, Republicans attempted to halt President Biden’s SAVE plan, which allows the majority of students with bachelor’s degrees to avoid repaying their loans. They offered a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn it.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) criticized Biden’s student loan scheme, stating that it shifts the burden from borrowers to those who did not attend college or have already paid off their loans responsibly.
Senator John Thune (R-SD) added, “Instead of creating a real plan to lower the costs of higher education, President Biden continues to propose budget-busting student loan bailouts that would force 87 percent of Americans who do not have student loan debt to bear the costs of the 13 percent of Americans who do. It’s incredibly unfair to those who never incurred student debt because they didn’t attend college in the first place or because they either worked their way through school or their family pinched pennies and planned for higher education. I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this resolution that would overturn President Biden’s latest misguided and fiscally irresponsible student loan bailout.”
