A student loan forbearance is normally requested when a person is not able to make payments on the loan. There are certain requirements in which you must be able to prove why you are not able to make payments. Some common reasons will be lack of employment or financial hardships. A forbearance will allow you to stop making payments temporarily. In addition, you can have the option of making lower
. payments. However, if you request forbearance your loan amount will still accumulate interest.
