Wage Garnishment Notices to Begin for Student Loan Defaulters
December 24, 2025 - 07:49
The Department of Education has announced that borrowers who have defaulted on their student loans will begin receiving wage garnishment notices starting January 7. This decision marks a significant shift in policy as the Trump administration reintroduces measures to recover unpaid student loan debts through wage garnishment.
Under this policy, employers will be required to withhold a portion of the wages of borrowers who have fallen behind on their loan payments. This action is aimed at addressing the growing issue of student loan defaults, which has become a pressing concern for both borrowers and the federal government.
The Department emphasizes that this move is part of a broader effort to ensure accountability among borrowers and to facilitate the repayment of outstanding debts. As the deadline approaches, borrowers are urged to review their loan statuses and consider options to avoid garnishment, including repayment plans or loan rehabilitation programs. The resumption of wage garnishment is expected to impact many individuals who have struggled to meet their student loan obligations.
