This announcement follows reports that the Small Business Administration is increasing its efforts to recover billions in unpaid loans. The agency has reportedly begun forwarding COVID disaster loans with balances of $100,000 or less to the Treasury Department for collection.
When a federal debt becomes delinquent, the government can use several collection methods. The Treasury Offset Program (TOP) can seize federal payments, including tax refunds and Social Security benefits, to satisfy outstanding debt. This is an administrative action that does not require a court order.
Administrative wage garnishment is another collection tool. Federal agencies can garnish up to 15% of a borrower’s disposable income for delinquent non-tax debt, and the government can initiate this action without a court judgment, unlike private creditors.
As SBA & Federal Debt Advisory Services explains in its guide, a common misunderstanding is that a statute of limitations will cancel the debt over time. While the federal government generally has six years to file a lawsuit for recovery, administrative collection tools like the Treasury Offset Program and wage garnishment may still be used beyond this period—often without a strict expiration date, though not necessarily indefinitely.
To assist with these issues, SBA & Federal Debt Advisory Services provides targeted support. The firm’s services include detailed document review, one-on-one coaching sessions, and preparation for financial hardship hearings. These offerings are intended to provide borrowers with clear strategies.
“Borrowers facing federal collection are often dealing with an intimidating system alone,” said a company spokesperson. “Our mission is to provide clear, strategic support and advocacy. We ensure clients understand their situation and have a plan to move forward.”
