Yes. The Direct Loan Program offers the same deferments that are available to borrowers in the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. The maximum period for which a borrower may receive a deferment is determined in accordance with the Direct Loan Program regulations, and depends on the deferment type. Information about deferments is available on the Direct Loan Servicing Online Web site.
