President Donald Trump’s administration said it will soon resume collections on defaulted student loans for the first time in five years. The office of Federal Student Aid may start taking funds out of borrowers' tax refunds, Social Security benefits and — eventually — paychecks.

The Department of Education says borrowers in default should start making monthly payments or enroll in an income-driven repayment plan.

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about how the change could affect millions of borrowers.

And we want to hear from you, too.  

 What questions do you have about managing your student debt? How will the federal government’s decision to resume collections on defaulted student loans affect you? 

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.   

Guests:
