President Biden announces a student loan debt relief plan. What it means for borrowers.

President Joe Biden is out with a plan that cancels up to $10,000 in federal loans for those making less than $125,000 a year. Low-income students who received Pell Grants will see their balance decline by double that at $20,000. The White House estimates the relief plan will impact more than 40 million borrowers nationwide.
