anyone in a similar situation?

recently graduated form grad school with 100k debt, all federal loans. I submitted my IDR and PSLF application since I just started a job in February at a non-profit, 69k a year. However, with everything that is going down federally, my applications are not being processed through. Is deferment an option since my application is on hold? or just stick it out and pay close to $700/ month until we found out more. I just want to know if anyone is in a similar situation or any advice really. My loans are with Aidvantage.
