Hi all. I called Mohela today with a question about loans that I had just taken private (not waiting on a new PSLF 10-year term again) and I also asked about being put in general forbearance for my remaining loans that I’m awaiting a buyback offer on (submitted Jan 2026). My buyback request is mostly due to SAVE forbearance.
The rep didn’t ask me about any reason for seeking forbearance or anything about how many months of forbearance I could receive because she simply said I cannot be switched into general forbearance while on SAVE forbearance. She said I’d have to wait until after I receive the July 1 letter telling me to start repaying, etc., to seek either repayment or some forbearance option at that time.
Just wanted to give a heads up to others. And if anyone has been told something different, please share that.
Finally, I did a quick search and didn’t see any posts on this exact topic, but if this has been raised before, apologies for the redundant post.
