Recommendation text

We recommend that FSA’s Chief Operating Officer determine if wage withholding has ceased for the 1,930 borrowers whose employers continued to withhold wages as of October 23, 2020, despite FSA's cancellation of the administrative wage garnishment orders. If wages continued to be withheld for these and any additional borrowers, determine what additional actions FSA can take regarding employers who unlawfully withhold wages from borrowers.
