About 9 million Americans with student loans who had applied for the Biden administration's student-debt relief program mistakenly received emails last month that said their applications had been approved.The mistake may only compound confusion among some borrowers about the debt-relief program, which for now remains in limbo due to several legal challenges, with the Supreme Court earlier this month agreeing to hear one of the cases."Corrective action""Communicating clearly and accurately with borrowers is a top priority of the Department," a spokesperson for the Education Department said in an email to CBS MoneyWatch.However, the text of the letter was accurate, letting those recipients know that the determination of their eligibility would continue "if and when we prevail in court.""Working closely with the Department, Accenture Federal Services will review quality control measures to support accurate and timely communications to applicants in the Student Loan Debt Relief program.""
