How do I know if my student loans are deferred?
If you are enrolled in an eligible college or career school at least half-time, in most cases your loan will be placed into a deferment automatically based on enrollment information reported by your school, and your loan servicer will notify you that the deferment has been granted.
What does a loan status of deferment mean?
A loan deferment allows you to temporarily halt making payments on the principal (and interest, if your loan is subsidized) of your loan. A loan forbearance allows you to temporarily stop making principal payments or reduce your monthly payment amount for up to 12 months, if you don’t qualify for deferment.
Why are my student loans in deferment?
Student loan deferment lets you stop making payments on your loan for up to three years, but it does not forgive the loan. You must apply (and qualify) for deferment unless you are enrolled in school at least half-time. Interest on federally subsidized loans does not accrue during the deferment.
Is it wise to put a loan in deferment?
If your loans don’t qualify for federal student loan relief, and you have just lost your job, you may want to put your loans on deferment until you find another job. Additionally, if you are having a hard time meeting your basic needs, you may want to put your loans into deferment.
How long do you have to pay student loans before they are forgiven?
