(NewsNation) — Texas, Florida and California are the states eligible for the most student loan forgiveness, according to data shared by the Biden administration Tuesday.

The release of state-by-state data comes after the White House said Friday it would provide $39 billion in student loan forgiveness for 804,000 borrowers through income-driven repayment (IDR) plans.

Through the IDR plans, the federal government will cancel remaining loan balances for borrowers after they have made payments for 20-25 years.

The plan is the Biden administration’s latest move towards relief since the Supreme Court struck down the president’s student loan forgiveness strategy last month.

The list below details states with the highest amount of debt eligibility under Biden’s most recent plan with the number of borrowers listed in parenthesis.
