(Washington, D.C.) -- The Biden administration is reportedly weighing whether to extend the pause on federal student loan payments.  They are scheduled to restart on February 1st.  White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said two weeks ago that the loan payments would likely be restarting, as scheduled.  Congressional Democrats have since boosted pressure on the White House to extend the pause.
