As of the second quarter of the fiscal year of 2023, about one percent of federal education loan recipients in the United States were in repayment. A further 62 percent of student loans were in forbearance. This is due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, where the U.S. Congress moved student loans into forbearance in order to alleviate the financial impact of the pandemic on borrowers.
