It says unpaid interest, most of my payment goes to interest so I don't know if they're going to force payments to go to the principal instead.

Cover the borrower’s unpaid monthly interest, so that unlike other existing income-driven repayment plans, no borrower’s loan balance will grow as long as they make their monthly payments—even when that monthly payment is $0 because their income is low.

I'm pretty sure I have pell grants but my federal loans are privately held??? I know I didn't qualify for the pause on payments so I'm expecting I won't qualify for the forgiveness but fingers crossed. Trying to log into my student loan site and its noping me out lol
