Recently, the Trump Administration announced that all federally-held student loans will be suspended until the end of this year. This comes as yet another way in which the Trump Administration is attempting to assist all those who have been harmed by the impacts of the new coronavirus. Additionally, interest on any federal loan regarding student loan payments will be set at 0% interest. That being said, if you are a borrower and wish to continue making student loan payments during this time, you absolutely can. Additionally, by making payments during this time, they will be allocated to the principal of the loan, meaning that by making such payments now, you will be able to save money and time.
For many individuals attending college, as well as their family, if they are paying these loans on their behalf, this is very welcome news. Fortunately, with this announcement, many families across the United States, including in New York, can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for the time being.
