While forbearance allows you to temporarily postpone your contractual monthly loan payments, it’s important to note that you’ll continue to be charged with the interest that accrues. We may capitalize (add to your loan principal) all unpaid interest on a Sallie Mae-owned FFELP loan as often as quarterly and at the end of the forbearance, and on a FFELP Stafford loan disbursed on or after July 1, 2000, at the end of the forbearance.
