As negotiations over a massive economic stimulus package continues in the Senate, members of \u201cThe Squad\u201d have proposed a separate plan to cancel student loan debt.<\/p>\n

The legislation, dubbed Student Debt Emergency Relief Act, was co-sponsored by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

By contrast, the Senate Republicans proposed<\/a> giving U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos the authority to pause student loan payments, principal and interest, for up to three months. Their plan, which is a part of the $1 trillion stimulus package, would also allow DeVos to grant another three months of deferment if necessary, depending on whether the Read More \u2013 Source<\/a>
