Joe Biden's student debt relief agenda is taking a series of setbacks. A year-long reprieve for borrowers lapsed and a program to assist those in default ended. Adding insult to injury, a federal judge recently blocked Biden's Plan B for broader student loan forgiveness, leaving the uncertainty of millions of borrowers. While there has been some temporary relief through smaller programs like «borrower defense,» legal battles still prevent more significant changes, as per a report.

Supreme court ruling halts crucial reforms
