"Government violates the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and harasses seniors for debts that are outside the statute of limitations" FTFY

Sounds like the government is exempt so they're not violating the letter of the law but certainly are violating the spirit of the law.
The law prohibits aggressively collecting expired debts. Government debts don't expire. I'd say that's still within the spirit.
