HI, i'm going to defer payments on my undergrad loans, but the thing is for a while after i graduated i was unemployed and applied for a forbearance. Does that mean i've been in default on this loan? I know that if you are in default on any loan you will not get approved for any other loans so this is kinda worrying me. thanx asty

As long as you went through the paperwork for the forbearance and kept it going the whole time you were unable to pay this will not be considered defaulting on your loans and will not affect your future financial aid.
