Hurricane Victims May Postpone Student Loan Payments
Due to the recent string of hurricanes, federal borrowers residing in nationally declared disaster counties can receive a forbearance to postpone repayment. Over 372 counties throughout 13 states and Puerto Rico have been designated as disaster areas deserving of individual federal assistance. Janel Landis, an ACFS spokesperson, stated today, "During a time when individuals face catastrophic events, the last thing they should be concerned with is making their monthly payments. This [temporary forbearance] is a valuable option; however, the opportunity to take advantage of this assistance is widely unknown." American Collegiate Financial Services (ACFS) is actively educating borrowers of their options under this provision. According to the Department of Education, interest will accrue during a temporary forbearance. Depending on an individual's servicing agent, the length of the forbearance will vary. Individuals may consult with a Loan Specialist to inquire about
his/her forbearance rights by calling 800.304.1471.To search your county by state and/or hurricane, visit: www.fema.gov.
