Dear Heather,
I was wondering whether I can enroll in a payment plan upon graduation if I end up not having a job or I should just defer paying my loans. I am only eligible for the income base repayment and not as you earn plan, because I had student loans before October 2007.
Thank you!
If you don’t have a job (and are single) IBR is perfect for you! If you have no taxable income you will automatically qualify for the a $0.00 IBR plan. If you have federal loans, visit http://www.studentloans.gov to fill out your application.
