    Abstract: The Pre-authorized Debit Account Brochure and Application 
(PDA Application) serves as the means by which an individual with a 
defaulted federal education debt (student loan or grant overpayment) 
that is held by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) requests and 
authorizes the automatic debiting of payments toward satisfaction of 
the debt from the borrower's checking or savings account. The PDA 
Application explains the automatic debiting process and collects the 
individual's authorization for the automatic debiting and the bank 
account information needed by ED to debit the individual's account.
