The Trump administration will begin to seize student debt repayments from the wages of borrowers in default early next year, the US Education Department said Tuesday, a long-promised move that threatens to hit some of the most economically-vulnerable households in the country.

The first notices of wage garnishment will be sent the week of Jan. 7 to 1,000 borrowers who haven’t made a payment in over a year. The number of borrowers targeted will increase each month, according to a department spokesperson who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
