*Deferring payments is not automatic. Members must make a minimum of one loan payment prior to being eligible to skip a payment. A skip-a-pay can be performed a maximum of twice per rolling 12-month period on a given loan and up to four skipped payments over the life of the loan—however, extensions requested from November 1 to December 31 are considered holiday skip-a-pays and do not count toward the four skip-a-pay max. Skip-a-pay is not a forgiveness of the monthly payment, but rather a deferment of the payment. The postponed payment will be added to the end of the loan, which will cause the final payment to be due later than usual. Interest will continue to accrue for the deferred payment. Members must request the skip-a-pay at least five days prior to the payment’s due date. Other restrictions apply.
