The collection of medical and student debt will be halted for at least a 30-day period, through April 15, according to a statement released by Cuomo and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday.

In addition, New York will also be accepting applications for the suspension of all other types of debt owed to the state and referred for collection."As the financial impact of this emerging crisis grows, we are doing everything we can to support the thousands of New Yorkers that are suffering due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic," Cuomo said.
At this rate yal might as well just delete all debt across the board. CleanSlate

studentloans in the USA suspended. Students get a free ride to save under the circumstances. Full and or part time, unskilled labor, for tips and minimum wage is no longer available in the USA. All bars, restaurants, health clubs are closed, etc.

Would you mind promoting this petition to request deferral of mortgage and rents, so we can protect the most vulnerable during COVID-19?
