New post on MoneyTalksNews: Trump Administration to Start Garnishing Wages for Defaulted Student Loan Borrowers
Borrowers in default will receive a 30-day notice before their wages are garnished, a spokesperson for the Education Department told CNBC.
During that period, you should have the option to have a hearing before an administrative law judge, Kantrowitz said. The Education Department notice is supposed to include information on how you request that, he said.
Your wages may be protected if you've recently been unemployed, or if you've recently filed for bankruptcy, Kantrowitz said.
Borrowers can also challenge the wage garnishment if it will result in financial hardship, he added.
