How should student loans be handles?

56% Start payments January 1

We're following this survey throughout the day and into tomorrow. Tune in to News5 at 4 p.m. as we review the results!

Editor's note: This survey is not based on scientific, representative samples and is solely for KOAA purposes.

In August the Biden administration extended a moratorium on student loan payments until January 31. As it stands, the moratorium is set to end, and borrowers will be back on the hook for their payments.

If you are someone who has been using the moratorium, it might be helpful to begin preparing to resume paying now. You canclick here for some helpful tips on how to get ready.
