Federal student loan servicing Can't repay my loan Can't temporarily postpone payments California

My federal student loan is serviced by MOHELA. Six months ago, I requested a forbearance because of unemployment. The process entailed filling out and submitting - forms along with documentation of unemployment. I did so, and my request was denied. MOHELA wanted a different more documentation. I initially had trouble getting additional documentation, but eventually downloaded from the website of the Texas Workforce Commission ( TWC ) a Payment List Summary. This summary contains information about when and how much I was paid in unemployment benefits. It also indicated that I had received the maximum amount, and that was ineligible to receive additional benefits. -/-/-, MOHELA informed me that my request was denied because I had not submitted the documentation with the - forms. I submitted a new request -/-/- with the - forms and the documentation from TWC. On -/-/-, I was informed by MOHELA that my request was denied because TWC document was not recent enough. When I called, I was told that I would also have to register with MOHELA 's Career Services. This pattern indicates to me that MOHELA is unwilling to approve my forbearance. If that 's the case, then I will be very frustrated and puzzled because I have continued to make payments despite being unemployed since -/-/-. I have used my retirement funds to meet financial obligations while I have diligently sought employment. At this point, I would like help in trying to resolve this matter with MOHELA.
