For forbearances to work, your lender must agree to pause your payments for a specified period of time (usually a year), so that you can recover from your financial hardship. Payments will then resume after the specified period of time.
Your payments resume after your forbearance agreement expires. You would also need to pay all the payments you missed (you can either defer these payments, modify your loan structure, or work out an alternative solution with your lender).
A forbearance agreement is a legally binding document between a lender and a borrower, which states that the lender has agreed to halt payments from the borrower, and will not foreclose on their asset(s), for a specified period of time (which is a year, in most cases). This type of agreement is usually made when a borrower is going through financial hardship.
