About 9 million people who applied for student debt relief from the federal government got an email from the Education Department with a subject line indicating their application had been 'approved,' according to a copy of the email obtained by ABC News.

December 7, 2022, 5:27 PMwho applied for student debt relief from the federal government

But that was misleading as the Biden administration's student loan program was halted in mid-November by Republican-led lawsuits -- weeks before the email was sent informing borrowers of their "approved" status. Acknowledging the misfire this week -- about two weeks later -- the Department of Education told ABC News that borrowers will get an updated email soon that corrects the subject line and clarifies the state of the program.

Accenture Federal Services has not returned a request for comment from ABC News, but the Education Department said the company is expected to review quality control measures for future email messages having to do with the program.

U got the loan pay the F**king thing off

Biden doesn't have the Constitutional authority to do this. Only Congress can approve it. It was just another lie Democrats pushed on the sheeple.

People pay your own bills! You signed for the loan you pay back the loan! It is your own personal debt that you earned by taking out a loan. No one forced you to take out a loan!

Most likely the money is secretly headed to these student's bank accounts. BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ARE VERY SNEAKY! CAN'T TRUST ANY OF THEM!!!

Definitely not a mistake. The email was very accurate and basically says they won't give up the fight. But they probably will.

You take out a loan you pay the loan! I put 2 children through college on a military pay check while paying off a mortgage! Took sacrifice! Now I'm being asked to sacrifice for others children! Unless you think it's free. I'm tired of people who suddenly think I owe them somethin

Yeah. And it also said that it was on hold indefinitely

I got an email saying i was approved and I don't even have student loan debt. Nor did I send in an application....

One of the biggest political con jobs in history!

Did you get an email on your loan?

I couldn't afford college nor wanted the RESPONSIBILITY of a loan. I went into the Army, why should I have to pay other people's debts KMA!

It's so wrong for others to pay someone else Bill's. If you made the bill, pay it. If you you can't, then work something out. We are in a recession and people are already having a hard time making it.

They got educated now pay up your loan.

Pay back the loans you agreed to when you signed up for them.

Why dont everyone pay for their own student loan. You got it, it is yours. I paid mine. Such BS, buying votes.

All I know is I paid for my loan years ago, I also helped pay my daughter with her college payments. If thus is approved, the funds need to go directly to the lender not the person with the loan. I have heard to many stories of people using this money for other useless things.

Pay your loan back yourselves, not with my tax dollars.

I still say that we should have medical debt relief before even considering student loan relief. So many people are unable to buy homes or get credit because of medical debt. You don’t choose to have a medical emergency. You choose to take out a loan. This is the hill I die on

I hope this embarrassing for you

Pay your own loans

Let them pay their own bills!

Legal team should be ashamed. Unacceptable legal copy.

Wow people made adult decisions and now have to deal with the adult consequences😂😂😂

This has nothing to do with this article: The grammar in these comments is horrible. Almost every comment I read had problems, and some were so bad that they were nonsensical. It's hard to grasp the fact that y'all are well-educated.

Yep. I received that email. It's says your approved BUT it will be taken care of after SCOTUS hears their case.

I'm not tryna be rude but if yall really thought they'd spend billions on debt forgiveness after giving billions to the Ukraine in aide and trillions in Pandemic relief you gotta catch up

.....here's some evidence you're hiding from democrats that listen to your bs. Check out this thread at Thread Reader App.

Paid your own loan. We're not your mommy and daddy.

Damn I never even got to apply because the websites kept crashing when I would try to because there was too many people on them

I received an email and I myself have had my loans paid off for well over 5 years, so I wouldnt have applied. But got the email that Ihad applied and got approved. wierd

I think you misunderstood the email. I received one, and it explicitly states that I won’t receive money until all of the lawsuits are over. Pleas do your research before you misinform.

So now TheFeds are out here trying to 'normalize' their a snafu by saying ItWasAGlitch

Well, they’re lying

We all know the news and its not approved. Biden overstepped his authority again by telling people this lie.

As a centrist with a foot on the left. I do not agree with any of this loan forgiveness crap. Maybe pay the interest on their loans for them but that's it. Two of my adult children are currently paying on student loans, they got the degrees, they can repay the money they borrowed

You get a loan, pay it, it's called adulting!

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

?

Another day corrupt media ignores the biggest scandal in US history. FBI and DNC silencing major news detrimental to democrats. MEDIA CORRUPTION

Poor rich white kids.

Billions more to Ukraine

Letting the cat that has rabies out of its cage, it's not going to be easy putting it back, it's going to bite and scratch.

Don’t you understand? They approved the application not loan forgiveness. I approve the panhandler in the street but I’m not dropping a dime in. Used it for political talking points. They wanted those 9 million votes. I approve of you article but I’m not retweeting…

UNCONSTITUTIONAL illegal Student Loan relief ... NOT APPROVED BY CONGRESS !!!!

Buying votes.

How to ratchet up pressure.

You forgot to mention a critical fact, “When did these emails go out?”

All the money went to the Ukraine and bidens pockets

Accenture needs to stop getting gov contracts.

Still illegal...

Vote purchase

You take a loan, you owe the repayment. Any BS from JoeBiden otherwise is the pile it appears to be.

Democrats controlled house , senate & presidency …. yet failed to deliver !!

Any updates about the twitter files?

that’s sad

Where these e-mailed sent before voting took place?

. GOP: $1.9T tax cut for rich people = stimulus GOP: $1.9T cut in student debt = handouts GOP math never adds up. .

Click bait!!

My email said “pending due to lawsuit” 😠

The IR executed Mohsen_Shekari, a detainee who was arrested for blocking the street during recent protests in Iran. Innocent Iranian protesters are being tortured & executed in jail. Stop mass executions with crippling sanctions. MahsaAmini IranRevolution

Terrible reposting. I received an email. I educate myself on status, and understand the limbo. What's the problem..

Way to go, wonder what they’ll want for free next?

The Islamic regime has fired up its execution engine. Early this morning, MohsenShekari was executed without having a proper trial. His crime? Blocking a street and carrying a knife on paper, in reality:he was protesting against this illegitimate regime SAY HIS NAME MahsaAmini

Tie all student debt relief to service to our country. I’m sick of the rich skating on everything and sick of non-rich America-haters getting a free ride.

Mohsen Shekari, who was one of the protesters arrested on 25th of september, executed on 8th of December by Islamic Republic. If UN does not take any actions to pressure and stop them. they will execute more protesters

It is one thing to get approval it is another to get the actual funds

Jumped the gun on that unconstitutional vote grab...

Now, that’s funny!😅
