Alex Gailey, writer and student loan expert for NextAdvisor and Peter Dunn, Founder of YourMoneyLine and host of the Pete the Planner radio show, join to answer the biggest questions surrounding the new student debt relief program. President Joe Biden\\xa0announced\\xa0he will eliminate $10,000 worth of student loan debt for qualifying borrowers, and up to $20,000 in debt to those who borrowed money under the Pell Grant program. He also said he would\\xa0extend the federal student loan payment pause\\xa0through December 31st. Who will this mostly benefit? What will be the tax or credit score impacts? How does it address the racial wealth gap? What might this program encourage private lenders to do?
