During portions of an interview with NBC News Business and Data Reporter Brian Cheung aired on Tuesday's broadcast of "NBC Nightly News," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona stated that because "many" borrowers "are going to struggle" to make payments on their student loans when the payments resume after the payment pause ends in October, but to ensure people don't have their credit scores harmed for struggling to pay, "we're going to hold them harmless for a year as they're getting back up."
