Just wondering now that IBR is on tract to becoming an option, are new residents still allowed to forebear their loans during residency? Thanks for your help!

There is an actual law related to residency student loans that require lenders to allow "mandatory forebearance" for anyone in residency without any effect on your credit score or finances. Its new this year as we can't defer anymore I believe.
