Student loan payments will restart this summer

• The pause has been in place since March 2020.

Zoom in: According to Oregon's Higher Education Coordinating Commission, undergraduate students who graduate from Oregon's 17 public colleges and universities leave with $18,882 in federal loan debt on average.

Pro tip: Find your loan servicer and explore repayment options at studentaid.gov — especially if you're a recent graduate and haven't had to set up a payment plan until now.

What we're watching: The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling later this month on Biden's plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt, which would immediately benefit 211,000 Oregonians, according to White House estimates.
