Episode Synopsis

 What happens when pandemic-era student loan relief officially ends? The U.S. Department of Education plans to resume wage garnishment in early 2026 for borrowers who remain in default, marking a return to pre-pandemic enforcement practices. Officials say borrowers will receive notice and options before garnishment begins, but the move signals a tougher stance on unpaid federal student loans. (Source: Barron’s)
