Are you concerned about paying off student loans right now?
Student Loan Debt Tips During COVID-19: If you are currently repaying student loans, please note that federal student loan borrowers were automatically placed on deferment of payments and interest from April 2020 – October 2020. This deferment may have different long-term and short-term impacts on borrowers depending on your specific circumstances, and it may be wise to talk to a loan counselor or your loan provider directly to understand its impact on you.
Two organizations that may be able to provide direct counseling about student loan debt and repayment are:
