  • The Department of Education announced on Monday that it will restart collecting federal student loans in default on May 5, ending a pandemic-era pause that began roughly five years ago.

The U.S. Department of Education announced on April 21, 2025, that it will resume collecting on defaulted student loans, reversing a pause that was implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. This decision comes as part of broader efforts to normalize federal student loan operations, with the department also planning to restart regular billing statements and collections on defaulted loans starting in June 2025. The move is expected to affect millions of borrowers who have been in default, offering them a chance to rehabilitate their loans and improve their credit standings. The Education Department emphasized that it will provide support and resources to help borrowers navigate the transition and manage their repayments effectively.
