HELP Our Troops Act

The Higher Education Loan Program for Our Troops Act (HELP Our Troops Act) would allow members of the military to pause their federal student loan payments while they are on active duty. During this period of service, the loans would be interest-free, meaning the balance would not grow while the borrower is deployed or serving. This measure is designed to provide financial relief to service members by ensuring they do not face increasing debt or repayment obligations while fulfilling their military duties.
