I don’t believe that’s the case. My understanding is that the government holds on to the loans but hires servicers to interact with borrowers. These servicing contracts are subject to competitive bids and that’s why people regularly get new processors.

It’s true loan servicing does not always change when loans are sold they are independent.
In 2010 the policy changed, however plenty of older federally backed student loans are still being sold and resold. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/08121...
