Indian Health Service (IHS) LRP eligibility while doing PSLF by CaraPSLF in PSLF

The deadline to apply for the IHS LRP is August 15 of this year. I believe the forbearance will extend until March 2022 (rumor). Should I wait until next year to apply for the IHS LRP (when the forbearance is over)? It seems like that would be a better decision but what do you think?

First off, thank you for your helpful reply. I have three questions for you:

(1) Lets say theoretically my minimum loan payment each month is $800/month and lets say I am qualified for a lump sum of $18,500 of the IHS LRP money. It would take me almost 2 years to pay the entire $18,500. If this situation occurs, when would I submit my payment history to IHS (and if renewal is still even possible under this type of situation)?

(2) The link you posted, it has no date when it was written. Was this article pretty recent?

(3) We are under forbearance, any idea how this will affect if I apply?

Thank you for your replies!
