The pause will apply to all defaulted loans in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. The pause is meant to protect borrowers during this time, which is critical since many Americans are already facing financial hardship. The pause will allow borrowers to pay their loans and avoid defaults, while the economy improves and the number of COVID cases declines.
