Court approves part of Biden debt relief plan. A U.S. appeals court allowed President Biden’s administration to move forward with implementing a key part of a new student debt relief plan designed to lower monthly payments for millions of Americans. The Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on June 30 put on hold an injunction issued by a judge at the urging of Republican-led states that argued the U.S. Department of Education’s debt relief plan was unlawful. The Education Department said that as a result of the stay issued by the 10th Circuit panel, it will continue cutting undergraduate loan payments.
