Student Loan Borrowers Impacted by Recent Tornadoes
For borrowers who have been adversely affected by the recent tornadoes, assistance is available in the form of an administrative forbearance, postponing student loan payments for up to three months. Borrowers must contact their lender or loan servicer to request an administrative forbearance.
Borrowers who have federally owned loans (Direct Loans or FFEL Purchased Loans) must contact their federal loan servicer directly. Federal loan servicer contact information is available at StudentAid.ed.gov or 1.800.433.3243.
Borrowers can find a comprehensive list of their student loan servicers and contact information at NSLDS.ed.gov.
Federal student aid information from the U.S. Department of Education for students, borrowers and schools impacted by a natural disaster is available at http://ifap.ed.gov/ifap/disaster.jsp.

Oklahoma Money Matters (OKMM) recently debuted a new workplace education initiative, Workplace Money Matters, to empower employers to provide important money management training for staff. Research shows many adults lack a basic understanding of financial principles, which leaves them feeling stressed and struggling to meet day-to-day living expenses. This stress often leads to health problems, job dissatisfaction and lower productivity in the workplace.
