If you are already paying back your student loan debt or are fixing to pay back your student loans, then you may want to understand the deferment process and what it can do for your loans. Deferment simple means that you are temporarily postponing making your student loan payments. However, while you may be able to temporarily suspend your payments, the interest on your student loans may continue to accrue depending on what type of deferment is chosen. There are several types of deferment. Types of Deferment Military deferment is the temporary suspension of monthly student loan payments while you are serving in the military on active duty.

Can other men claim a deferment if they go on a mission trip for their church if it is not a Mormon church?

If you are seeking a military deferment for religious reasons, you will need to talk to your military officers. Deferments are not as common today in the United States since we no longer have a draft. Mormons in the military are rarely granted military deferments for missions anymore- it is expected that if they want to serve a mission they will do so before joining the military. Deferments for religious service are also uncommon in other countries.
