Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and her department were sued Thursday for allegedly continuing to collect on defaulted borrowers' student loans -- more than a month after she said it would stop doing so to provide relief for those struggling during the coronoavirus outbreak.

Plaintiff Elizabeth Barber, a home health aid in New York, has seen her paycheck garnished several times over the past month for her defaulted student loan, most recently on April 24, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint was filed on behalf of Barber by the National Student Legal Defense Network and the National Consumer Law Center. They are seeking class-action status.

"Right now, low-wage workers hit hardest by the economic impact of the pandemic need their paychecks to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads," said Persis Yu, director of the National Consumer Law Center's Student Loan Borrower Assistance Project.
