The promised action was to call on the Department of Education to continue pausing forced student-loan collections and create temporary default-prevention forbearance. The evidence shows Wyden joined an official congressional letter during his current Senate term requesting exactly those actions, and his office publicly announced that effort. Because the claim is about making the request rather than securing final Department action, this counts as delivered in the same term.
