Student Loan Repayment Pause Templates

Student Loan Repayment Pause, also known as deferment or forbearance, is a temporary suspension of loan payments for borrowers who are facing financial difficulties. During this period, interest may continue to accrue, depending on the type of loan and the specific terms of the repayment plan.

If you are struggling to make your monthly student loan payments due to unemployment, disability, or other financial hardships, you may be eligible for a student loan repayment pause. To request a deferment or forbearance, you will need to contact your loan servicer or lender and provide documentation of your circumstances.
