Stafford and Perkins loans can be deferred for up to three years due to unemployment, financial hardship, or disability. Or you can apply for forbearance if you aren't qualified for deferment. You apply for these by contacting your loan servicer.
Stafford and Perkins loans, from what I understand, are in your name alone. Your parents should not be impacted by these loans.
The private loans are a whole different ballgame.
