The Biden administration on Wednesday approved an additional $9 billion in student loan relief for up to 125,000 borrowers.

The package includes $5.2 billion in debt relief for 53,000 borrowers under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, a debt relief program for public sector workers who have worked for the government, whether on the federal, state, or local level, or a non-profit organization for 10 years or more.

Nearly $2.8 billion is allocated for about 51,000 borrowers on income-driven repayment plans—specifically those who been paying off student loans 𒉰for more than 20 years and haven't received any relief in t๊he past.
