The FBI believes that scammers may be after people applying for the One-Time Federal Student Loan Debt Relief, a program announced by the Biden-Harris Administration in August 2022 that provides up to $20,000 in student loan debt relief. In a recent public service announcement, the agency warned of fraudulent websites, emails, texts, or phone scams aiming to defraud applicants.
Debt relief is open to people with an income of less than $125,000. Qualified Pell Grant recipients can get up to $20,000, while non-recipients can get up to $10,000.
