The Biden administration is considering an extension to a pause on student loan payments set to restart in February
Washington The Biden administration is considering extending the pause on federal student loan payments, which were set to restart on February 1.
The Department of Education will be announcing later this week whether it will extend the pause further, a spokesperson for the agency said Wednesday in a statement sent to CNN. The reversal comes less than two weeks after White House press secretary Jen Psaki had indicated that the administration was still planning to restart federal student loan payments in February, resisting pressure from some fellow Democrats who have been calling for an extension of coronavirus pandemic relief benefits.
