I want to suspend my student loan payments, due to the current crisis. Can you help me with that?
Of course. We'll help you stay on the path to successful repayment of your federal student loan.
Even if I just started to repay my loan?
Yes. Whether you are just beginning to repay your student loan s or have been in repayment for a while, sometimes you might have trouble affording your payment amount. Fortunately, there are solutions.
================
I see. What if I don't recertify on time?
In that case you'll be removed from the income-driven repayment plan and your monthly amount due will very likely increase.
================
What should I do if I get less income due to the current crisis?
You can apply to have your current IDR plan recalculated. You don't have to wait until your annual recertification is due.
================
That's reassuring. And why should I apply for an income-driven repayment plan?
An income-driven repayment (IDR) plan can make your payments more affordable because they are based on your income. Under an IDR plan, payments may be as low as $0 per month. You can estimate your monthly payments using the Loan Simulator.
================
Can I change my income-driven repayment plan?
Have you had an increase in family size or a decrease in income?
No, none of that.
