As Joe Biden prepares to provide millions of Americans with $10,000 in debt relief, federal student loan holders endure uncertainty.
Detail of the plan for loan forgiveness for student borrowers with low incomes(less than $125,000 a year) have been withheld, and only three people could confirm that.
There will also be a delay on federal student loan payments, which will last until January.
More than 43 million people are in debt to a combined $1.6 trillion federal student debt, with 31% due less than $10,000.
Joe Biden's plan could offer this group a windfall before the midterm elections.

Instead, opponents like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders proposed canceling more significant amounts.
Biden plans to reduce student debt by up to $10,000.
Heads of the Student Aid Administration have discussed that in the event of a presidential campaign, officials would forgive more than $10,000 of student debt.
