## Online Center Features
Borrowers can review default consequences, compare options, apply for rehabilitation or consolidation, make payments, and review repayment plans through the portal.
## Rehabilitation Process
Borrowers applying for rehabilitation can upload documents, review an estimated payment, electronically sign agreements, and track applications online.

## User Feedback
89% of users said the application was easy, 86% understood next steps, and 84% found the process reasonable.
## Treasury Takes Over Collections
Treasury will assume operational responsibility for collecting defaulted student loan debt using private agencies to help borrowers return to good standing.
