Quick Glance: A new lawsuit seeks to halt Biden's student loan forgiveness program.
- Borrowers will not be required to pay federal income tax on the forgiven student loan debt, thanks to a clause in the American Rescue Plan Act passed by Congress last year.
- There has been no debt elimination under Biden's plan, which was revealed in August.
- Furthermore, according to the lawsuit, Garrison is already pursuing federal student debt relief through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which means he expects the government to cancel his remaining sum in a little more than four years.
- More challenges against Biden's student loan forgiveness plan are possible.
