During the repayment period of your student loan, your financial situation may change. In these instances, the federal government allows you to request a deferment on your student loan payments. This allows you to defer your payments for a set period of time. In addition, interest does not accrue during the deferment period. An exception to this is the unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
