Despite departmental restructuring, the Trump administration has resumed collecting student loans

Despite departmental restructuring, the Trump administration has resumed collecting student loans. The U.S. Department of Education declared on April 21, 2025, that it will begin collecting on federal student loans that had fallen into default on May 5, 2025. About 5.3 million borrowers who are already in default and an additional 4 million who are seriously behind on their payments would be impacted by this action. A five-year halt that was started during the COVID-19 epidemic has ended with this decision.
