Interesting, didn’t think about this (since both Biden and Trump have doing it for the last few years now). You think he would have a better shot of doing that next month if it came to it?

Welcome back btw!

Are you a big stepper command line interface?

Would actually be a dope name for a CLI

I think so, at least that reasoning would make sense to me, because the DOJ's request at the Supreme Court to appeal and lift the injunction is due December 1st.

DOE is playing it smart. Not taking their chances, they already sent our relief to the loan servicers so the moment the injuctions are lifted, the floodgates will open and everyone who got the approval email will have their loans forgiven, not much the courts can do to undo that. That's Plan A:

Plan B is simply to forgive everyone's loans on a case-by-case basis. The only difference is procedural to get around the court's restrictions, the outcome is the same.

There are additional backup plans to get relief to students, for example they could technically put all of us in an Income Driven Payment plan where we pay $1 and the governmernt pays the rest and boom, loans forgiven. Or everyone is doing an hour of public service and now we're all technically covered by PSLF. There are so many legal avenues, I just don't see the reason to be pessimistic about it.

Got this email. Following.

STUDENT PAUSE EXTENDED

@op

WE WON

This like the 4th "very last time" they are doing this lmao

But like they have somewhat of a reason this time lmao

Let's gooo

Bless up

And people were saying it couldn't be done

Ok so I got the "Your Student Loan Debt Relief Application Has Been Approved" email (woo!)

But my wife applied too (even though she transferred her loans to So-Fi a few years ago for a lower interest rate) just for the hell of it not expecting it to be approved cause she has them with a private loan company now...and she got the same email!

Is this just more of an automated thing and if/when the forgiveness actually comes she won't actually get the forgiveness?

I have not received the email and applied day one

Student Loan Pause might be worth reading in detail.

I really like how the wording which builds on the Eighth Circuit's petty opinion that the injuction was not harming student loan borrowers because there was a student loan payment pause so if someone were to strike down the payment pause before the SCOTUS decision, the feds would have a big counter-argument.

But, I'm also worried about how the wording implies that the payment pause could end well before June 30th if the Supreme Court makes a decision before that which would be bad news either way they rule for those who will still have remaining student loans owed. I guess it all depends on how they interpret "resolved".

Got my email

got my email but it had different wording than the one in OP, didn’t explicitly say i was approved but that they had all my info and there isn’t any follow up to do. smh

Just send me 10,000-20,000 dollars fam

I got the e-mail

I got the email but we ain’t getting s*** lol

How would it be bad if the Supreme Court allows forgiveness to go through, since people would have had to resume payments in January if the courts hadn’t stopped the forgiveness anyway?

I definitely get how it could be very problematic if they don’t allow the forgiveness to go through though (since it makes extending the pause trickier)

When did you submit your application?

I got a differently written email than the one in the OP, but the header of the email says I was approved.

I also got one just simply stating they got all my information the day I submitted the application a few weeks ago
