If I accept a job before the end date of my approved forbearance, do my loan payments get reinstated and become due immediately?

No. Becoming employed would not revoke the approved forbearance benefit during the forbearance period. Members can choose to resume payments if they’d like by submitting a request in writing; however, they can wait until the forbearance period officially ends to begin making payments.

Note that interest will continue to accrue and be capitalized onto the loan’s principal balance during your forbearance period. Please read the How will my loan payments be affected after Unemployment Protection ends? section for more information.
