Supreme Court refuses to revive Biden's latest student loan debt relief plan
The Supreme Court said the Biden administration cannot implement its latest plan to tackle federal student loan debt.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday rebuffed a Biden administration plea seeking to revive the latest plan to tackle federal student loan debt.
The court in a brief order denied an emergency request filed by the administration seeking to lift a nationwide injunction imposed by an appeals court. There were no noted dissents.
The order said the appeals court that is currently handling the case should "render its decision with appropriate dispatch."
The Education Department issued a regulation finalizing its Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan in July 2023, the month after the Supreme Court ruled the administration lacked authority to implement President Joe Biden’s earlier loan forgiveness program.
The new effort, like the previous one, was challenged by multiple conservative-leaning states led by Missouri.
