It is very delicate to skip the payment of your student loan, because the penalty on this particular loan is very heavy and severe. The government may disqualify for any kind of refund or benefit you might be entitled for. There are benefits such as Social Security and Social Security disability, however if you fail to pay the student loan payment then you might not enjoy the benefits not only this if the government thinks you may be sued. The government can also take a portion of your pay check.

However the government would assume you as in default if you have not made the payment for at least nine months then the entire loan amount becomes payable immediately.

Most of the time the borrowers end up on a default status. There are other terms and condition which you need to follow for nine months if not then the lenders would declare you in default. Once you miss the first payment the delinquency period starts then. However even the lenders has to follow some guidelines like if you miss the first payment then the lender has to notify you by sending a letter within first 15 days and then they must let you know about the student loan law.
