The U.S. Army may be able to freeze your account if you are delinquent on your federal student loans. If you default on your loans, the Department of Defense can withhold your pay and tax refunds to go towards your debt. The Army may also be able to reduce your pay or deny you promotions.<\/p>\n

There is no simple answer to this question as the Army does not have a single policy on freezing accounts. Some commands may have the authority to freeze accounts in certain circumstances, but this would typically only be done as part of an investigation or to prevent further unauthorized activity. If you believe your account has been frozen incorrectly, you should contact your commanding officer or the Army’s customer service center for assistance.<\/p>\n

If you owe students loans or taxes to the government, you might find your bank account automatically frozen by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). They can issue a tax levy for any unpaid taxes, which will not be lifted until the debt is fully paid. The government can do a few different things for unpaid student loans, including wage garnishment, tax refund offset, and federal benefits offset.<\/p>\n
