The Department of Education (ED) on Monday announced that it will resume the collections process for defaulted federal student loans on Monday, May 5, after a five-year pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In response to a system outage, the Department of Education (ED) plans to extend the deadline for the 2025–26 FWS Community Service Waiver Request, which was originally slated to expire at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time (ET) on Monday, April 21, 2025. The extension is expected to be for at least one additional day, but more details will be provided once ED determines how long the application needs to remain reopened. Stay tuned to Today’s News and check FSA’s electronic announcement page for the latest details concerning the extension of this deadline.
