最新报道:The Trump administration has resumed garnishing wages and tax refunds for millions of Americans with defaulted federal student loans, reversing a pandemic-era pause. The Department of Education began collections in September, affecting borrowers who were already in default before COVID-19 relief measures took effect. Critics argue the move will disproportionately harm low-income families during economic instability, while officials maintain it's necessary to ensure loan repayment. The action excludes borrowers currently benefiting from the CARES Act payment freeze on non-defaulted loans. This policy shift comes as student debt surpasses $1.7 trillion nationally, with growing calls for broader debt cancellation proposals.
