Sheesh! Yes, they can. Any Federal backed loans can be taken out of Soc. Sec.
The government can take some federal benefit payments (including Social Security retirement benefits and Social Security disability benefits, but not Supplemental Security Income) as reimbursement for student loans.
The government cannot take any amount that would leave you with benefits less than $9,000 per year or $750 per month. And, it cannot take more than 15% of your total benefit.

Appears that a LOT of people took out loans without knowing about the repayment laws.
