06.25.09 | What qualifies for a "mandatory" forbearance?
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.
