Federal Student Loan Payment Shock Study

After three years of payment relief, federal student loan payments will resume September 1 for more than 40 million US consumers. Between the possibility of maxed-out monthly budgets and the newly-added stress of inflation, this has many lenders concerned the payment shock for some consumers could lead to a rise in delinquencies.
