Anyone know the most recent news with the doing away of the 20/220 deferment option?
Anyone else? Does anyone know if these rule changes will take effect before or after we start residency in June/July for new grads.
Another question. . . When you get a loan deferment, is that valid for the entire 3 years, or do you have to renew it at regular intervals, i.e. annually?
Dr. Bagel,
Do you know HOW long? If you notice my avatar I am in a MD/PhD...translate that into matching 2010.

No one knows that one. Unless things change, it will be gone by 2010, but it seems possible that things will change -- there's a new bill circulating in the House, and the DOE apparently has the power to extend it if they choose (this is why it's extended right now).
which screws people over for fellowships now.Even if it is, you can enter forbearance for up to 3 years.
