This question is asked so the interviewer can determine if you meet one of the FBI's employment disqualifiers. The FBI has many employment disqualifiers, and they encourage candidates not to apply to any FBI position if any of the disqualifiers apply to them. Some of the disqualifiers are:
- Non-U.S. citizenship
- Conviction of a felony, sex crime, and/or a domestic violence misdemeanor
- Failure to file income tax returns
- Currently having a federally funded student loan in default
The interviewer wants to ensure that you have never defaulted on a student loan insured by the U.S. government and can move forward in the interview/hiring process.

As with any interview question, avoid being dishonest in your response. If you have defaulted on a student loan insured by the U.S. government, the FBI will find out in your background investigation that you lied in your interview.

"No, I have never had a loan or defaulted on any student loans. I was awarded a full scholarship and was fortunate that I did not need to incur any student loans."
