Student loan payments were paused at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that pause has been extended several times throughout the Trump and Biden administrations. Now, after a three-year moratorium, interest will start accruing on Sept. 1, and payments will be due beginning in October.
Biden will address the nation at 3:30 p.m. EDT.
