The Trump administration will resume garnishing wages from student loan borrowers in default in early 2026, the U.S. Education Department confirmed to NPR.

The move comes after a years-long pause in wage garnishment due to the pandemic.

"We expect the first notices to be sent to approximately 1,000 defaulted borrowers the week of January 7," a department spokesperson told NPR. The spokesperson said wage garnishment notices are expected to increase on a monthly basis throughout the year.

A borrower is in default when they have not made loan payments in more than 270 days. Once that happens, the federal government can try to collect on the debt by seizing tax refunds and Social Security benefits, and also by ordering an employer to withhold up to 15% of a borrower's pay. Borrowers should receive a 30-day notice from the Education Department before this wage garnishment begins.

Betsy Mayotte, the president and founder of The Institute of Student Loan Advisors, says even though borrowers have expected this, the timing is unfortunate.

"It will coincide with the increase in health care costs for many of these defaulted borrowers," she said, referring to the premium increases for Affordable Care Act health insurance that kick in in 2026. "The two will almost certainly put significant economic strain on low and middle income borrowers."

About 5.5 million borrowers are currently in default, according to a recent analysis of the latest federal student loan data published by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a public policy think tank.

Another 3.7 million are more than 270 days late on their payments and 2.7 million are in the early stages of delinquency.

"We've got about 12 million borrowers right now who are either delinquent on their loans or in default," Preston Cooper, who studies student loan policy at AEI, told NPR.

That's more than 1 in 4 federal student loan borrowers.

Brilliant. This will surely win over those independent voters Trump has been souring the past 6 months with his catastrophic economic failures.

Trumps Recession™ is full speed ahead!

I'm sorry, how does forcing people to pay back loans they defaulted on cause a recession?

Why would people who would have jobs to pay off their debt, but now can't because of the failed trump economy be happy with this?

What are your thoughts on the hundreds of billions in PPP "loans" Trump handed out in 2020 then immediately forgave?
>>
>>1468708
One of many mistakes that Trump made with COVID. What are your thoughts on Biden getting elected because he promised to forgive all student debt and then never did?
>>
>>1468701
It's supposed to work that you take loans for college, get a degree, then that degree lands you a good job you can use to pay off those loans. It doesn't actually work like that, and nowadays it works like that even less.
>>
>>1468709
>What are your thoughts on Biden getting elected because he promised to forgive all student debt and then never did?
He earnestly and repeatedly tried. What are your thoughts on Trump promising to drain the swamp?
>>
>>1468710
So don't go to college for a useless degree?
>>
>>1468711
He earnestly and repeatedly tried. How many goalposts are we going to move before we get back to the topic of individual financial responsibility and not taking out loans you can't pay back?
>>
>>1468713
nta, but Trump taught me that defaulting on loans and taking them out planning to never repay them is a good thing.
What was your point again? Just paste whatever your handler emailed over instead of dripping it out and we'll just go over all your talking points at once.
>>
>>1468714
Cute. Unfortunately (for you), Biden didn't absolve your debt like he promised. Now you owe what you owe - and since you couldn't be responsible enough to pay it off like an adult now the government has to do it for you. Don't complain. You signed the contract.
>b-but whatabouttrumpism x 1000
>>
This has nothing to do with Trump and would have happened under Kamala. For those of you that don't know, the government makes money by giving these loans out. It makes a profit and that money itself funds the bloated DoE. They need that money back now
>>
>>1468719
Why does the government need to make money? Can't they just print more out? What is the point of taxation?

Yeah that's not how that works. But keep complaining about it and how horrible Trump is for making people pay back what they owe after defaulting.
>>

Trump is horrible for making people pay back what was already forgiven debt, correct.

The economy was going great until Biden fucked it up. Maybe don't vote for people because they keep promising you free shit? ... lol who am I kidding, you'll never learn.
>>
>>1468746
>The economy was going great until trump fucked it up
Fixed
Now trump is making sure to twist the knife with this policy after stabbing everyone in the back again. But you're going to deflect.
All the students should just take a page out of trump and refuse to pay back their debt. It's only fair they get to live by the same standards.
>>
>>1468742
Yes, already forgiven by executive order of the President.
>>
>>1468746
How do you people rationalize that Biden fucked up the economy when Trump signed the checks that destroyed the economy in December of 2020? It never made any sense.

they're shills, if it made sense they wouldn't be paid to spam it 24/7

>The economy was going great until trump fucked it up
But that's wrong you fucking retard. And even if by some miracle you were correct about this it still wouldn't matter. I don't know what country you live in where you get to just forget all of your debts anytime the economy doesn't go according to your plans, but it definitely isn't America.

>>1468748
And which EO was that?

>>1468749
Look at where inflation spiked. Also look at all of Biden's EOs that attacked domestic oil production - a resource every civilization needs to survive - while we were recovering from COVID. Then compare Trump's first term economy to any of the four years under Biden, especially in 2018.

And then try to remember how you people tried to gaslight us into thinking the economy was going great under Biden as we're struggling to buy groceries, pay rent, or fill up our cars.
>>
>>1468754
>Also look at all of Biden's EOs that attacked domestic oil production
>repeating this fucking meme
He shut down one pipeline and domestic oil production was effectively left untouched otherwise. You get shut down every time you bring up this debunked talking point.

>And then try to remember how you people tried to gaslight us into thinking the economy was going great under Biden as we're struggling to buy groceries, pay rent, or fill up our cars.
So what's happening right now as Trump literally says "A+++++ economy"? Motherfucker literally left everything out from the last inflation report other than cars and gas and tried to claim he "defeated inflation". Sit your ass down.

Heree'[s an idea: students will pay off their loans when Trump pays every single cent owed to those he refused to pay for various things.
If he doesn't pay off his debts: all of them, why should students? They should follow his example. Just ask those involved with the construction of that gold... I mean white elephant of a ballroom.

>You get shut down every time you bring up this debunked talking point.
Talk about cope. You can't defend any of Biden's actions because they were all abysmal failures, just like him.

Most of the time the decision to get student loans is made before that; you literally take the people who just became able to get loans and convince them with "oh you'll never get a job otherwise" to take out loans with an interest rate so absurd it takes decades to pay them off. It's beyond predatory and heads into outright scam when you consider what current college degrees are like, encouraging people to go into majors only for the job market they got them for to be non-existent by the time they graduate.
>>

>>
>>1468875
As said above, the reason they don't allow you to discharged it is because the government makes a profit off of it. It's a clear conflict of interest because the government itself is a predatory lender. That's why Democrats will never allow it

Elsewhere, a leader is going to renationalize a previously state-owned national transport system privatized decades ago by a previous leader praised by a past Republican president. Said leader today will renationalize said transport system by denying the current private companies of their right to renew their franchises, thus they revert back to state control.
It was an election policy platform of the party now in government. And the fact said party won with a massive landslide proved that not only was it a popular policy, that renationalization was wanted by the electorate, thus became so by the will of the people.
Democracy. You're going to realize it's a thing, Trump & all your cultists. Enjoy your power: what's left of it. Because not long after six days from now the midterms will ensure you - and your little orange dog too - will be denied of your right to any socio-political power. By the Will of the People.

Been saying it for a while on /pol/, but universities are on their last legs. Look, the whole college-will-give-you-a-great-career thing is long over. EVERY TIME the gubmit subsidizes ANYTHING, it screws it up: Health care, housing, universities, etc. Originally, universities had nothing to do with getting a job; it was to prepare the "gentry" to enter "proper" society. Somewhere around the early 20th century, the condition of a human's relation to economic output was at the state where college would prepare someone for higher paying work. The nature of the economy has changed. However, bloated, narcissistic universities have become addicted to the trough of easy money through the NEVER-should-have-been-implemented government student aid programs such as FASFA or the GI BILL, where basically have a pulse you qualify for funds. Do you really think the US gubmit can properly assess the risk of each of these loans...HELL NO. So, to keep the money river flowing, the powers that be still preach everyone needs to go to college crap. In addition to that, the standards have been dumbed down so much making it more pathetic of an endeavor than it was just based on oversupply. That hasn't been the case for decades.

For now, the trades are paying better than college grads in the 2020s since the leftist college elitists have put them down as "inferior work," and with the public duping into this, has created massage shortages of trade workers. However, this only gives you a short runway, not a career as those jobs too will be taken over by automation, just a few years after white collar. Universities have basically just turned into money-grubbing propaganda pushing machines. The only value left in universities these days is college sports, and they're even commercializing and bastardizing that. Since they've branded themselves as the way to "a good job" AI will, as Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank says, eviscerate them and expose them for the cockroaches they've become.
