Thanks for having me. voice-verified

So we haven't heard anything definitive yet, but just recently, the Secretary of Education suggested that there are continuing conversations about possibly extending the pause. voice-verified
So we're really not sure where this is going to go, but stay tuned. voice-verified
Well, if you haven't been paying all these months, you may actually not really know what you owe anymore. voice-verified
