Yes, the U.S. Department of Education announced a 90-day extension of the pause on student loan repayment, interest, and collections through May 1, 2022. 

 

Consequently, the IRS will not offset refunds for student debts until that date.

 

Please read this press release from the U.S. Department of Education for more information.
