President Joe Biden announced the official launch of the federal application for Americans seeking student loan forgiveness Oct. 17.
Those seeking to apply for student debt relief can fill out the form at studentaid.gov. The form includes information about the debt relief, who qualifies for it and how it works.
Applicants are asked for information including their full name, Social Security Number, birthdate, phone number and email address. Borrowers have until Dec. 31, 2023 to fill out the application.
In August, Biden announced his plan to provide $10,000 in debt cancellation for millions of Americans and up to $10,000 more for people with great financial need.
