With the fate of the Biden administration's sweeping student loan forgiveness plan uncertain and headed to the Supreme Court, borrowers in New York state may have another option for relief.

The 'Get On Your Feet' Loan Forgiveness Program, rolled out in 2015, is meant to "invest in recent college graduates with student loan debt who opted to invest their futures in New York," said Angela Liotta, public information officer and director of communications at the New York State Higher Education Services Corp.

Under the program, certain residents of the state may be eligible for student loan forgiveness on up to 24 months of payments.
