Biden Administration Extends Pandemic Pause on Student Loan Debt
----------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration is extending a pandemic pause on federal
student loan repayments through August 31, after the relief was due to
expire in May. News of the latest extension came less than 24 hours
after hundreds of protesters in Washington, D.C., led a march to the
Education Department for a national day of action Monday demanding the
Biden administration cancel all student debt and calling for a May Day
student debt strike if payments resumed.
