Several members of Congress are urging President Biden’s administration to extend the suspension of student loan payments before it is set to expire May 1. They would like to avoid the loss of a pandemic-induced benefit in the middle of an election year.
The suspension of federal student loan payments has already been extended five times throughout the COVID-19 pandemic since it began under President Trump in March 2020. Millions of people who owe student loans to the federal government have not been required to make payments on their debt in two years, and interest rates on those loans have been set to zero during the deferment.
President Biden has yet to say whether he will renew it again, after extending it in December amid surging cases of the coronavirus.
Dozens of legislators, including Representative Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, wrote in the letter, “Millions of borrowers have benefitted from the pause in payments. Although progress has been made, we believe it is vital to ensure that we continue to work to alleviate the continued impact the pandemic is having on families across the country.”
