Link: headlines Should You Really Stop Paying Your Student Loans Due To Coronavirus? and Here's How to Contact Your Student Loan Servicer During Coronavirus [both forbes.com, both with large pictures of publicly known members of the current administration at the top of the article]
Location: USAmerica
Deadline: none in either link; HOWEVER, I would talk to your servicer asap in case there is a deadline not listed and BEFORE you miss a payment.
Time estimate: < 5 min each link; each link has several embedded links that would add additional time; contacting your servicer adds more time
Requirements: mental / social / decision making
Anything else: copperbadge recommends that you "continue to pay if you are able until you have either confirmed with your loan servicer that you don't need to or have made an agreement about nonpayment with them. Most of the links I'm seeing are going to private loan administrators who may have different requirements for forbearance and may not have posted the most updated information."
This forbearance started March 13 (retroactive) and continues until September 30.
