Last week, the Department of Education announced that it would not seize social security benefits from borrowers who have student loans that are in default. This is a reversal of the April 2025 announcement that collections activity on defaulted student loans would begin on May 5. This is a huge relief for social security recipients, but other collections activities are still in play. The best way to avoid the uncertainty is to be clear on where your loans stand and in this episode--along with a bit of history--Dr. Tisa explains how in this #ICYMI episode.
