Between July 2023 and March 2024, we partnered with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) on a monthly webinar series. Each webinar focused on a different aspect of the return to repayment and highlighted an action item to focus on.
If you're struggling with making your monthly student loan payments, there are options for temporary relief.
Action Item: Know Options if You Can't Pay
We focused on what your options are if you can't make a payment, including the differences between deferment and forbearance.
Learn more about temporary student loan payment relief options, like deferment or forbearance on the FSA website.
You may also look into options on your loan servicers' dashboards for self-servicing since call times are high right now for contacting servicers.
You can access links we shared in the chat during the webinar by downloading the Student Loans Updates Links Sheet, which also contains information for every webinar in the series.
