Can your tax refund be garnished if federal loan not in default?
Generally garnishment occurs only in cases where a loan or other debt is, or has been, in default. (Although I've heard of cases where parents volunteered to have child support garnished so they didn't have to worry about missing a payment.) There are only a few types of debt that can be legally garnished: alimony and/or child support, student loans, and deliquent federal taxes. The payment terms of your loan should be clearly defined and specifically include the amount and date the payments are due. Garnishing your refund while your account was current would be demanding payment before it was due. If you are not currently in default and have never been, then there is no reason to assume your tax refund would be garnished. However, if you've previously been in default and not brought the loan completely current, they might garnish the portion still in arrears.
