If you are performing teaching service that would qualify you for teacher loan forgiveness.
Great. What is the duration of mandatory forbearances?
Mandatory forbearances may be granted for no more than 12 months at a time.
Are you continuing to meet the eligibility requirements for the forbearance when your current forbearance period expires?
Yes, probably.
Then you may request another mandatory forbearance.
And how do I request such a forbearance?
Most types of forbearance are not automatic you need to submit a request to your student loan servicer, often using a form. For some types of forbearance, you must provide your student loan servicer with documentation to show that you meet the eligibility requirements for the forbearance you are requesting.
What if I stopped paying when my forbearance is not approved?
Then your loan will become delinquent and you may go into default.
Are there any alternatives to this?
