SUMMARY: Millions of student borrowers may face wage garnishment as early as this summer, with an estimated 3 million entering default by August and another 2 million by September. Default occurs after 270 days of missed payments, risking up to 15% wage garnishment to repay debt. The pandemic payment pause ended in May, and a Biden-era grace period protecting credit scores has lapsed, causing credit damage for many. Borrowers should check their loan status on studentaid.gov and consider rehabilitation or consolidation to avoid default. The Department of Education will notify borrowers 30 days before garnishment, allowing requests for hardship hearings to reduce or delay wage deductions.

SUMMARY: A heat advisory has been issued for South Florida with “feels-like” temperatures reaching 105 degrees, especially in interior areas. Actual temperatures are in the low 90s with high humidity causing dangerous heat index levels. Shoppers are advised to seek air-conditioned spaces during peak afternoon heat. Rain chances today remain low at around 10%, with some inland afternoon showers possibly providing brief relief. Showers and storms are expected to increase on Tuesday and Wednesday, which should help lower temperatures. A tropical system is being monitored but currently has only a 20% development chance and is expected to move out over the Atlantic.
