Preparing for Repayment to Resume
Here are three steps to make sure you’re prepared for student loan payments to resume:
- Update your contact information in your profile on your loan servicer’s website and in your gov profile.
- Check out Loan Simulatorto find a repayment plan that meets your needs and goals or to decide whether to consolidate.
- Consider applying for an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan. An IDR plan can make your payments more affordable, depending on your income and family size.
Once the payment suspension ends, you’ll receive your billing statement or other notice at least 21 days before your payment is due.
