   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with McMillian and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Debt Collection Act. No time limit prevents the Secretary
   of the Department of Education from offsetting Lee's social security
   benefits to repay her Federal Perkin's Loans; the offset did not violate
   Lee's due process rights; nor did the doctrine of laches preclude the
   Secretary from collecting Lee's student loan debts.
