Here are four steps to make sure you’re prepared for student loan payments to resume:
- Update your contact information in your profile on your loan servicer’s website and in your StudentAid.gov profile.
- Review your auto-debit enrollment or sign up for the first time. To do so, log in to your loan servicer’s website or contact your loan servicer directly.
- Check out Loan Simulator to find a repayment plan that meets your needs and goals or to decide whether to consolidate.
- Consider applying for an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan. An IDR plan can make your payments more affordable, depending on your income and family size.
