IgnoredFact-checker reviewConfidence: 60%

No program offering $10,000 of student debt relief per year of national or community service was created or formally proposed during Biden's term (January 2021 - January 2025). The administration's $188 billion in loan relief for more than 5 million borrowers was delivered through 33 executive actions under existing authorities - borrower defense, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, income-driven repayment adjustments, and disability discharge - none of which is the promised per-year service-based program. Despite unified government in 2021-2022 and an active legislative education agenda, this specific proposal was not advanced.
