Biden forgives $5 billion more in student loan debt. Here's who qualifies and how to apply.

Student loan relief is coming to another 74,000 Americans, with President Biden on Friday announcing an additional $5 billion in debt forgiveness for borrowers including teachers, nurses and firefighters. 

The announcement marks the latest round of debt cancellations since the Supreme Court last summer blocked Mr. Biden's student loan forgiveness program, and brings to $136.6 billion forgiven for more than 3.7 million Americans. 

The discharges are the result of fixes made by the administration to income-driven repayment (IDR) forgiveness and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), with the Department of Education saying that payments are now being accounted for more accurately.
