If a student is still in school can the IRS take their federal refund for student loan payments?

yes, if your loans are in default then you will be listed on the Tax offset list. Once on the list, your tax refund will be kept by the Guarantee agency until the loan is paid off or until the loans are out of default. It does not matter if you are in school or out of school. In the USA, if your Federal Student Loans are in default, then your original lender was paid 97% of your loan value by a Federal Guarantee Agency. Guarantee Agencies are basically insurance companies. When your lender was paid off, the Guarantee Agency took ownership of your loans. Guarantee Agencies have the right by law to keep any Federal Income Tax return money that is owed to you. They also have the right to garnish any wages and to garnish Social Security benefits.

Can a collection agency take your social security in Washington?

No. Social security and social security disability CAN NOT be garnished by a collection agency, BUT the Federal government can garnish it for child support, back taxes, unpaid student loans or any other money for which it is owed. SSI on the other hand CAN NOT be garnished by anyone, not even the Federal government since it is awarded by need. Hope this helps, Lsqud in PA


Can you have a federal garnishment if you already have a garnishment?

In the US, a defaulted student loan is turned over from the Guarantee agency to a Federally approved collection agency. This collection agency can garnish your wages. If your loans are with various lenders and turned over to multiple collection agencies after default, then I think it would be possible to have multiple garnishments, but collectively they can not be more than 15% of your salary. If more than 15% is being taken, then you should contact the Ombudsmans office at the Dept of Education. He is there to help you. If you want help consolidating your defaulted loans and stopping the garnishment, click on the link at the bottom of this text box.
