The ED has not collected on defaulted student loans since March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>To collect on defaulted student loans, the FSA will restart the Treasury Offset Program (administered by U.S. Department of the Treasury), which will include actions such as withholding tax refunds and garnishing wages beginning on May 5, 2025. Later this summer, the FSA will also resume Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG), which can require an employer to withhold up to 15% of an employee\u2019s disposable income for loan repayment. Prior court approval for AWG is not required. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/about\/news\/press-release\/us-department-of-education-begin-federal-student-loan-collections-other-actions-help-borrowers-get-back-repayment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full press release for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><em>The information contained within this article is provided for informational purposes only and is current as of the date published.
