President Joe Biden plans to extend a freeze on federal student-loan repayments until at least the end of September, keeping in place a pandemic measure that’s reduced costs for tens of millions of borrowers.
Biden was set to ask the Department of Education to consider the move soon after his swearing in, according to a statement from his transition team that outlined a barrage of day-one measures.
