AS SOMEONE WHO USED TO WORK FOR THE DEPT OF EDUCATION. IT IS TRUE, BECAUSE THE DEPT OF EDUCATION IS A FEDERAL AGENCY AND SSI AND DISS IS CONSIDERED TO BE A FEDERAL APPROVED PROGRAM, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO INTERCEPT IT UP TO 25% BASED ON THE AMOUNT YOU GET MONTHLY. IF THIS DOES OCCUR, THE OFFSET (GARNISHMENT) WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FULL BALANCE OF THE LOAN IS PAID OFF OR YOU DIE! SO BEST THING TO DO IS PAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. - THEY ALLOW YOU A 65 DAY PERIOD FROM THE DAY THE LETTER IS MAILED OUT TO YOUR HOME ADDRESS, TO GET ON AN APPROVED ARRANGMENT FOR YOU LOAN.
