If the federal government did not complicate requirements, student loans, other federal non tax debts, and even bankruptcy agreements would be less complex than they are. Do you know the difference in how to calculate the amount deducted for a delinquent student loan issued by a state guaranty agency from one issued by the Federal Department of Education (ED)?
