WASHINGTON (AP) — The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday. Currently, roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans.

The U.S. Department of Education announced on Monday that it will begin collecting on defaulted student loan payments starting in two weeks.

The Department of Education has recently announced that it will restart collecting federal student loans in default on May 5, putting millions of borrowers at risk of having their benefits and wages garnished.
