Is it possible to postpone repayment of Federal Student loans?
Yes, as long as the loan is not in default students may be eligible to receive a deferment on the Federal Direct Stafford loan. A deferment allows students to temporarily postpone payments on the Federal Direct Stafford loan. Students may be eligible for a deferment if enrolled at least half-time at a postsecondary school, are in an approved rehabilitation training program for the disabled, unable to find full-time employment, and/or demonstrate economic hardship.
