“There’s no question that Secretary Cardona and the Biden Administration made the right call here,” said Courtney.

“President Biden’s decision to extend an interest-free ‘payment pause’ for federal student loans is welcome news for borrowers who are still recovering from the adverse economic impact of the COVID pandemic,” said Rep. Courtney.

“We recognize the impact that the pandemic had on our borrowers,” said Secretary Cardona, in response to Rep. Courtney, “and extending the pause is something that we have had conversations about."

"Our troops and their families deserve the full benefit of student loan forgiveness that they’ve earned while serving overseas, and this bill will help them get it," said Rep. Courtney.

“Today’s jobs numbers should be a wake-up call to a lot of armchair economic experts that even though our recovery is moving forward, we’ve still got big challenges to overcome, and people still need support,” said Congressman Courtney.

“The American Rescue Plan is continuing to fuel eastern Connecticut’s economic recovery, and it’s going to help our schools stay open and get kids back on track as we move ahead,” said Congressman Courtney.

“Norwich Free Academy and Woodstock Academy are where thousands of kids in our region go to learn each day, and it’s great to see them getting the support the need through the American Rescue Plan,” said Congressman Courtney.
