Are IDR Applications Currently Paused?

I recently applied to IBR (I think it's old-PAYE) and emailed a customer service rep at Aidvantage to see when the application may be processed.

I got this response:

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your repayment plan request. The processing of the Income Driven Repayment (IDR) applications is currently paused until we receive further direction from Federal Student Aid. We do not currently have an estimate of how long this will take.

Once processing resumes you will hear either from Federal Student Aid or Aidvantage regarding what type of IDR plan applications are being processed. You should expect a lengthy delay in processing your application. Hope this information finds you well. Have a good day!

Is this correct that the applications are not being processed? I am guessing it's correct, BUT I have a ton of money on the line (I may be able to get 300K forgiven) and I want to be sure.

Thanks!
