Unless you request a different repayment plan, your loans will be automatically placed in a 10-year Standard repayment plan. Your loan balance and projected interest will be divided into equal monthly payments over a ten year timeline.
The Standard plan for consolidation loans works differently - the repayment term can be anywhere from 10 to 30 years depending on the balance of your loans.
Unless it’s over a ten year timeline, payments on the Standard plan for consolidation loans don’t qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
