 TITLE: Student Loan Borrowers Get Extended Relief Under New Provisions CONTENT: Some Student Loans Still Don't Qualify\n--------------------------------------\nThe temporary pause on payments, collections and 0% interest rate only applies to student loans that the U.S. The Department of Education owns.\nYou may already know if you qualify, as your loan payments or collection actions would have automatically paused once the CARES Act was enacted last spring.\nBut, as a reminder, the executive order does not impact:\n*   Private student loans you borrowed from a non-governmental lender\n*   Federal Perkins Loans that your school owns\n*   FFEL Program Loans that a private lender owns\nIf you're struggling with student loans that aren't covered by the CARES Act or the extensions, reaching out to your loan servicer may still be the best option. Many private student loan companies have forbearance and hardship options, although they don't necessarily suspend interest accrual as well. END
