SUMMARY: A Georgia judge allowed President Biden‘s student loan cancellation plan to proceed, dismissing the lawsuit from Georgia and transferring the case to Missouri. This plan, held up since September by legal challenges from seven Republican-led states, aims to forgive debt for approximately 30 million borrowers. The ruling enables the Education Department to finalize the cancellation process, potentially as soon as Friday. Missouri’s lawsuit claims that the cancellation will harm its student loan servicer, MOHELA, by affecting its revenue. Republican states argue the Department circumvented necessary waiting periods for implementing new rules.
