You Can Ignore Those Student Loans. Leniency Is Guaranteed for Now

Borrowers reliant on Biden’s new leniency measures will still need to make a plan for the future—especially with the program slated to end Sept. 30, 2024—said Betsy Mayotte, the president of the Institute of Student Loan Advisors.

“If your issue is that your rent or mortgage payment is high, that’s still going to be the case next year,” she said. “I wouldn’t wait. I would buckle down and figure out how to fit it all in.”
