September 22, 2022
Atlanta, GA — As the Biden-Harris Administration works to provide student debt relief, members of Congress, including United States Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-4), discussed new state data on how the plan will benefit borrowers during a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
In Georgia, over 1.5 million people will be eligible for student debt relief, Johnson said.
“Even more astounding, nearly 70% of the borrowers in Georgia who are eligible for loan forgiveness are Pell Grant recipients, totally more than one million people,” he added.
