How do I know if the IRS will keep my refund due to student loans being in default?

Call the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Treasury Offset Program Call Center, at 800-304-3107, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time. They probably are not answering the phone during the government shutdown. You will have to wait until the shutdown ends.
