Some of the many borrowers who continued making student loan payments during the pandemic payment freeze may be eligible for a refund as part of President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt. Here's a look at how and why.
Laura Baum, a 30-year-old resident of Chicago, paid $5,000 during the payment freeze toward her $15,000 remaining debt. She is eligible to have $20,000 canceled since she was a Pell grant recipient when she was an undergraduate. At the beginning of September, Baum called her loan servicer and asked for a refund.
“If you apply first, you can process the refund to get your money back, and then that balance in your account is canceled,” Welbeck said.The Department of Education is offering a subscription pageYou can get a refund for the entire amount you paid during the payment freeze, according to the Department of Education. However, you can choose a lower amount.
Say you had $15,000 worth of debt remaining at the beginning of the payment freeze and have since paid $8,000, but qualify for $10,000 in debt relief. You might decide to ask for a refund of just $3,000. Then, your debt balance will be exactly $10,000, and you can apply for maximum loan forgiveness.Borrowers should expect to receive their refund six to 12 weeks after requesting it, according to the Department of Education. But you might want to double-check with your loan servicer.
