NOTE: The CARES Act was passed in response to events related to the Coronavirus pandemic and includes broad relief measures for federal student loan borrowers. If you are considering refinancing your federal student loans, please make sure to review these measures at www.studentaid.gov/coronavirus to understand your options.
Due to events related to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Federal government has announced several measures to assist borrowers during the ongoing crisis, such as temporarily waiving federal student loan interest. Accordingly, we highly recommend that you carefully consider all of your options before refinancing your federal student loans. While all details are not yet known, it’s possible that additional proposals by Congress may impact those with federal student loan debt. Please remember that when you refinance federal student loans into a private student loan, you waive any current and potential future federal student loan benefits. Make sure to explore all available resources, including information on the Department of Education’s website at www.studentaid.gov/coronavirus to understand how these proposals may impact you, so that you can determine if losing current and potential Federal student loan benefits outweigh the benefits of refinancing your loans.
