The portal, available through the Federal Student Aid website (https://studentaid.gov/welcome/?redirectTo=%2F), gives Americans access to an application that’s estimated to take about five minutes to complete and that does not require any supporting documents to be uploaded. It is available in both English and Spanish on mobile and desktop, Biden said Monday.
The portal "handled more than 8 million applications without a glitch or any difficulty" over the weekend during its testing period, the president claimed. The deadline to apply for debt relief is Dec. 31 of next year.
