A lawsuit filed in Texas seeks to halt President Joe Biden's Student Debt Relief Plan because there was no public input before its approval.

against the Department of Education, claiming it didn’t follow procedures when approving the relief program. Specifically, the group argues in its legal filing that the Biden administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act by not taking public comment on the program before it was approved.

The plan provides up to $20,000 in debt relief to Pell Grant recipients and up to $10,000 to those who didn’t receive Pell Grants. To be eligible for relief, one's individual income must be less than $125,000 or $250,000 for households. But the department said it was still looking for ways to offer relief for borrowers like Brown. “[The Education Department] is assessing whether there are alternative pathways to provide relief to borrowers with federal student loans not held by [the department], including FFEL Program loans and Perkins Loans, and is discussing this with private lenders,” the new guidance said.
