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: The Miami Dolphins kicked off a new training camp focused on improvement after a disappointing 2024 season, especially for wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill, recovering from injuries and falling short last year, aims to regain his top form and prove himself to teammates. Linebackers Jordan Brooks, Willie Gay, and KJ Britt bring energy and strong defense vibes. On offense, running back Devonte Chan and rookie Ali Gordin II are working on consistency and smarter play. Former NFL receiver Chad Oinko made a surprise visit. The Dolphins open preseason Sunday, August 10, against the Bears.

Hill is ready to bounce back from last year’s disappointing season. Meanwhile, on defense, a pair of new linebackers, Willie Gay Jr. and K.J. Britt, are clearly enjoying their new team.
