The internet has been buzzing with discussions about the Biden-Harris Student Loan Debt Relief Initiative. Some praise the effort to relieve students plagued by student loan debt with some form of relief ($10,000 to $20,000) while others feel the measure doesn’t go far enough. Some believe the government needs to tackle the obscene amount of interest on the loans while others think they should be completely forgiven due to a number of factors. Whatever the case and where you stand on the issue, the form to get your student debt relief is out and available and only takes a few minutes to submit.
