 TITLE: How to Get Student Loan Relief During the COVID-19 Crisis CONTENT: Should You Take Action Now?\n---------------------------\nIf you haven't been affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic, you may wonder if you even need to take any steps to get help with your student loans.\nWithout knowing how long the U.S. economy will be affected by the crisis and how it could impact you in future months, it may be tempting to request help now as a way to prepare for potential financial hardship later. You could set aside the money you're not paying on your loans in savings, and pay it all toward your loans later if you don't need the money after all. However, if you're able to, it's probably best to continue making loan payments.\nOf course, some private lenders may not offer forbearance unless you're experiencing economic need right now. Consider your situation, and determine what is the right move for you. END
