Banks can automatically offer relief

Now, banks can automatically offer relief based on recommendations from banking committees: no need for borrowers to jump through hoops or fill out requests (though you can say no if you don't want it).
There's also a 5% buffer rule for these restructured loans, and banks get to keep recognizing income as usual.
