President Biden vetoed a Republican-led resolution that would have struck down his plan to forgive over $400 billion in student loans, saying the resolution would have kept millions of Americans from receiving “the essential relief they need.”

— which the president signed into law Saturday — codifies the Education Department’s plan to resume student loan payments 60 days after the Supreme Court hands down a decision or on Sept. 1.

The moratorium — enacted by the Trump administration — suspended student loan payments without accrual of interest, saving borrowers some $5 billion a month in interest. Each month of suspended payments has counted toward loan forgiveness for borrowers in public-service jobs, helping many achieve or move closer to debt cancellation.
