I commend President Trump for his quick action on this issue, and I hope it provides meaningful help and peace of mind to those in need.”
The payment pause is for a minimum of 60 days, retroactively going back to March 13, 2020. More details will likely be provided as this story continues to unfold, including whether this pause will be extended past the initial 60-day timeframe.
