Student Loan Payments Resume on October 1
As part of the recent bipartisan agreement to raise the debt ceiling, the current student loan payment pause will expire at the end of September. After more than three years of forbearance, borrowers will resume making their monthly federal loan payments. If you’re one of millions of people whose loans were serviced by FedLoan, Granite State, or Navient, you have a new loan servicer. You were probably prompted to create a new account with them months ago, when your account was transferred over, but it’s probably a good idea to check in now and make sure that your information is up-to-date and accurate. If you’re unsure how these or other changes impact your loans or repayment strategy, you may want to give your student loan experts a call before payments are due in October! Visit Navigate Student Loans to set a time to get your questions answered, brought to you at a reduced price by FMEC.

Scholarships are available for U.S. medical students, residents and international physicians to attend the Global Health Summit, held October 25-26, 2023 in Chicago just before the Family Medicine Experience.
