A Fresh Start for Federal Student Loan Borrowers in Default On April 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) announced an initiative—called “Fresh Start”—to help eligible borrowers in default.
Fresh Start will continue through one year after the COVID-19 payment pause ends.
If your loans are eligible, you’ll temporarily regain several student aid benefits. You’ll also get the opportunity to get out of default and keep those benefits for the long term.
Some of the Fresh Start benefits are available right now, but some other benefits won’t be available until later this year
