Law - A take on "The government may withhold Social Security benefits in order to collect old student loan debts"
Wednesday, as Linda Greenhouse reported yesterday in the NY Times:
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday that the government may withhold Social Security benefits in order to collect old student loan debts.Don't miss Indianapolis Star cartoonist Gary Varvel's take on thie story.The decision gives the government an enhanced tool for collecting billions of dollars in student loans by making it clear that a 10-year time limit on the government's ability to collect debts through a process known as administrative offset does not apply to student loan debts.
