In response to a court injunction that has temporarily barred the Biden administration’s student loan debt relief program, the U.S. Department of Education has extended the student loan payment pause, which was schedule to end on Dec. 31, 2022.

“The student loan payment pause is extended until the U.S. Department of Education is permitted to implement the debt relief program or the litigation is resolved. Payments will restart 60 days later. If the debt relief program has not been implemented and the litigation has not been resolved by June 30, 2023—payments will resume 60 days after that.” (studentaid.gov)
