Health and Education Agencies Join to ID Loan Defaulters
The departments of Education and Health and Human Services have unveiled a computerized matching program to assist in collecting money from people who default on loans awarded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act or people who must refund an overpayment. Education will gather personal data and employment information on people who have defaulted on student loans or who have outstanding grant overpayments. HHS' Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Support Enforcement, will verify the data, perform a computerized match and produce a file for Education containing the name, Social Security number, address, employer, wages and employer's address for each individual.
