Borrowers with federally held student loans will automatically have their interest rates set to 0% for a period of at least 60 days.

Borrowers will have the option to suspend their payments for at least two months to allow them greater flexibility during the national emergency. This will allow borrowers to temporarily stop their payments without worrying about accruing interest.
