After a three-year pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic, federal student loan payments are expected to restart this fall.
Student loan interest will resume Sept. 1 while payments will be due starting in October, according to the Federal Student Aid website, an office of the U.S. Department of Education.
The announcement came years after student loan payments were first suspended in March 2020 when the pandemic shut down the U.S. economy. That suspension was extended five times since then.
