A federal judge in Missouri will soon decide whether to temporarily stop President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness program from moving forward.
It's unclear when District Judge Henry Edward Autrey will make his decision, but he told both parties after hearing the motion on Wednesday that he'd have an answer to them soon, CNN and Missouri Independent reported.
The states also argued that the Biden administration does not have the legal authority to grant broad student loan forgiveness, the news outlets reported. Federal student loan borrowers that meet income requirements could have up to $10,000 of their student loans forgiven, while those who received Pell Grants in college could have up to $20,000 of their loans forgiven.
