Even if your pay is unaffected, a forbearance could help you divert some money toward building an emergency fund or help you pay another, more pressing debt.
Usually forbearance is granted at the discretion of the servicer and interest will continue to build. In this case, the Education Department instructed all servicers to automatically place all loans into a forbearance without interest.
Payments are automatically suspended for all borrowers, including those who were more than 31 days delinquent prior to March 13, , or became more than 31 days delinquent soon thereafter. Default on federal loans happens when a payment is days past due, sending your loan to collections and exposing you to damaged credit, garnished wages and seized tax refunds. For borrowers in loan rehabilitation, each month of the original forbearance period and the extension through January would also count toward the nine months needed for rehabilitation.
For those with federal student loans in default, all collection activities are suspended for as long as the forbearance lasts. You can get a refund for any forced student loan payments made since March 13, If your tax refund was seized before March 13, , it will not be returned.
If your loans were already in forbearance, any interest that already accrued will still be added to your loan principal when your repayment begins, but during the current waiver no new interest will be calculated.
As long as you are still working with a qualifying employer, months spent in forbearance will count toward PSLF. Making payments during the automatic forbearance won't get you ahead on payments. You're in the same boat whether you pay or not. Under normal circumstances only full payments count.
Borrowers might want to continue making payments on federal loans if they want to pay down their debt faster. If you do continue making payments, you won't pay any new interest on your loans during the forbearance.
The full amount of your payment will be applied to the principal balance of your loan once all interest accrued prior to March 13 is paid. Deciding whether or not to make a payment during this time will depend on your original repayment strategy:. We value your trust.
