Those are Direct Loan, FFEL Program loan, and Perkins Loan borrowers.
Have you received a Perkins loan?
Yes, I have.
Then you can also be eligible for a deferment while you are working to fully pay your Perkins Loan.
And about Parent PLUS borrower deferment?
parents who received a Direct PLUS Loan to help pay their child's education and whose child is enrolled at least half-time at an eligible college or career school, may qualify for this deferment.
What could happen to my requested deferment if I stop paying my student loan?
if you stop paying your loan before you've been notified that your request for deferment has been granted then your deferment will not be approved and your loan will become delinquent and you may go into default.
and what if I'm eligible for the deferment and rolled for at least half-time?
In most cases, your loan will automatically be placed into a deferment based on enrollment information reported by your school.
How will I know if my deferment is granted?
