Half my office, including myself, was out with Covid last week.
Isn't he relying on the Covid emergency declaration to justify student loan forgiveness? Not sure how he can simultaneously claim we aren't in a public health emergency anymore and we are still in a public health emergency so we need to forgive student loans.... >

They are extending it a minimum of 90 days, but it could be the last.
And yes, the student loan forbearance is contingent on the HEROES act and the emergency declaration - so student loans would resume this spring or summer depending on how it is rolled out.
