Loan Forgiveness Applies to Parents and Retirees
Parents of college students who may have taken out loans in order to help their children pay for college stand to benefit from President Joe Biden’s proposal to erase some student debt, a potential bonanza for the retirement savings of older Americans who qualify.
The proposal includes Parent PLUS loans, which are federal loans taken out by parents to assist their children in paying for college. In families where the student and the parent took out qualified loans independently, both would be entitled to relief. Private loans and loans taken out after June 30, 2022, do not eligible for forgiveness.
