Is wage garnishment ever better than repayment for federal student loans?This question is about wage garnishment for student loan debt. Short answer: no.

There is one structurally interesting exception, but even that one comes with consequences that ruin any savings.Still, the question gets asked — usually by borrowers who feel cornered, see a $0 IBR payment as suspicious, or assume default is “free” until collectors find them. Here is how the math…
The lede above is true, and it is one of the stranger facts about the Apollo programme.
