Student Loan "Forbearance Virus Pandemic"

It appears that the approved delays have kicked in.  Autopay has been bumped to October and the reduced autopay interest rate has reset to the original interest rate.  That being said, if you want the loans paid, their payments will need to be "pushed" from the bank account vs being "pulled" as autopay does.

I opted to raise my monthly payments to a round $70/month rather than the $67.21 that was on the autopay.  I hope people pay if they are able to and don't wait until the six months are up to do so.  It'll just make paying for them last that much longer.

In other news, I noticed, today, that the accrued interest is increasing.  I'll pay more attention once yesterday's payment clears.
