When you attempt to repay in full a student loan that you are defaulted on, you will have the opportunity to negotiate with the lender (or more likely the debt collector who currently owns your debt) and settle on an amount that will probably be less than what you actually owe. That said, they do have the right to request that you pay all of what you owe, and they do not HAVE to negotiate with you, although they probably will. Consulting with an attorney or a credit counselor can help you have better standing in your negotiations and ensure that you receive the best possible settlement.

Can 20 year old student loan default still be considered present default for home mortgage application?

Yes, there is no statute of limitations on student loan default for Federally Guaranteed student loans. You need to get the loans out of a default status.There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old. In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment. After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans. So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future.The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage. The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans. One good example is Default Management Services, Inc. They are the cheapest I have seen and give a 100% money back guarantee on their services. You can Google the company name to get the phone #.
