When the Trump administration first announced in April that it would soon resume student loan collection efforts, it said notices for wage garnishment would resume "later this summer." It's still a time frame the Education Department has cited in comments, as recently as earlier this month.

But with Labor Day coming up, it has yet to reveal a specific date.

The department did not respond to a request for comment on the timeline of wage garnishments.

"Getting these programs set back up takes time," said Scott Buchanan, executive director of the Student Loan Servicing Alliance, a trade group for federal student loan servicers. "I would expect at least a month or more" before garnishment begins, he said.
