SCOTUS denies Biden admin request to allow temporary enforcement of student loan handout

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) denied the Biden administration’s request to lift a block on the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, which is designed to ease the burden of student loan debt for millions of borrowers.

A federal appeals court in Missouri blocked the entire SAVE program from being enforced while litigation over the merits continues in the lower courts. The Department of Justice, which is part of the Biden administration, most recently asked the high court for emergency relief.
