How do I apply for a deferment or forbearance?
Updated October 10, 2022
To request a deferment or forbearance, you must contact your loan servicer. Your loan servicer is the company that handles the billing and collection of your student loan. Be aware that you may have multiple servicers for all of your student loans. You will need to apply for a deferment or forbearance with each servicer separately.
Visit the?National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS?) to find contact information for the loan servicer for your loans. You will need your?Federal Student Aid PIN to access your information.
