Is it true that the student loan payment pause and collections hold on department of education taking tax refunds extended -May 2022?

I read from multiple sources that the IRS is NOT taking refunds for student loans until MAY 2022. Does anyone have further info ?

The extension is to May 1 subject to any last minute change.

Yes, the U.S. Department of Education announced a 90-day extension of the pause on student loan repayment, interest, and collections through May 1, 2022.

Consequently, the IRS will not offset refunds for student debts until that date.

Please read this press release from the U.S. Department of Education for more information.
