06.25.09 | What qualifies for a “mandatory” forbearance?

Posted in Federal Loans, Repayment by dbonvie

There are certain mandatory forbearances. Examples include borrowers who:

  • are in a medical or dental internship or residency;
  • have student loan payments that are 20 percent or more of their monthly income;
  • have payments being made for them by the Department of Defense

Contact your lender or loan-servicing agent for more information on the mandatory forbearance benefit.
