Bank garnishment activity on an account typically begins before the taxpayer receives the notice. However, each bank or financial institution has different policies regarding bank garnishments. Check with your financial institution for specific times and dates.
Garnishments from the Department run concurrently with other types of garnishments. This means the employer should pay a garnishment from the Department alongside garnishments from other sources (IRS, child support, etc.) The 10% limitation is not offset by other garnishments.

If the taxpayer has multiple garnishments from the Department, pay out the oldest garnishment first. Upon receiving a release letter for the older garnishment, begin withholding for the next garnishment.
Once the total liability is paid in full, the Department sends the employer a garnishment release letter. If the Department has issued multiple garnishments, a separate release letter is mailed for each one. The employer may also contact the Department if they believe that they are close to paying out the garnishment and need a final balance.
The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) provides model forms for garnishments as a courtesy, for use by state and county officials. The Oregon DOJ is prohibited from providing outside legal advice. These forms reflect revised Oregon garnishment statutes and are in accordance with OAR 137-060-0100 to OAR 137-060-0450.

You also may contact a budget and debt counseling service described in division (D) of section 2716.03 of the Revised Code for the purpose of entering into an agreement for debt scheduling. There may not be enough time to set up an agreement for debt scheduling in order to avoid a garnishment of your wages based upon this demand for payment, but entering into an agreement for debt scheduling might protect you from future garnishments of your wages. Under an agreement for debt scheduling, you will have to regularly pay a portion of your income to the service until the debts subject to the agreement are paid off. This portion of your income will be paid by the service to your creditors who are owed debts subject to the agreement. This can be to your advantage because these creditors cannot garnish your wages while you make your payments to the service on time.
Wage garnishment, the most common type of garnishment, is the process of deducting money from an employee's monetary compensation (including salary), usually as a result of a court order. Wage garnishments may continue until the entire debt is paid or arrangements are made to pay off the debt.[3] Garnishments can be taken for any type of debt but common examples of debt that result in garnishments include:
When served on an employer, garnishments are taken as part of the payroll process. When processing payroll, sometimes there is not enough money in the employee's net pay to satisfy all of the garnishments. For example, in a case with federal tax, local tax, and credit card garnishments, the first garnishment taken would be the federal tax garnishments, then local tax garnishments, and, finally, garnishments for the credit card. Employers receive a notice telling them to withhold a certain amount of their employee's wages for payment and cannot refuse to garnish wages.[4] Employers must correctly calculate the amount to withhold, and must make the deductions until the garnishment expires.[5]
In many states when the person is an employee or appointee of a governmental unit the writ is called a Writ of Sequestration. These are processed by the courts in the same manner as garnishments and are subject to the same wage exemptions.
While garnishments often come after failed negotiations, the debtor can usually continue to negotiate with the creditor even after garnishment has begun. This option is particularly viable when circumstances have changed. For example, if the debtor receives an income tax refund and can now pay a large portion of the debt, they could negotiate with the creditor to halt the garnishing and pay a lump sum.
Filing for bankruptcy will put a halt on most wage garnishments, but this option may put certain property items on the line. However, there are ways to protect belongings. Each state has a list of exemptions that can protect property needed for employment, such as clothing or means of transportation.
Title III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) sets the maximum amount that can be garnished in any workweek or pay period, regardless of the number of orders an employer receives. The weekly amount for ordinary garnishments, such as garnishments for student loans, cannot exceed the lesser of two figures:
With the current minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, this means that for a weekly pay period, there can be no garnishment (for ordinary garnishments) if disposable earnings are $217.50 ($7.25 x 30) or less. However, if disposable earnings are any amount above $217.50 but less than $290, the amount above $217.50 can be garnished. For disposable earnings of $290 or more, a maximum of 25 percent can be garnished.
For non-ordinary garnishments like child support and alimony, the cap under the CCPA changes. The maximum amount of wages that can be garnished increases to 50 percent of disposable income if the employee is supporting another spouse or child (60 percent if not). This holds true regardless of the number of such garnishment orders an employee may have.
Specifically, the CFPB found that the bank violated the law when it improperly complied with garnishment notices that sought to attach funds located in out-of-state accounts and that were protected from out-of-state garnishments. Under the Bureau's new guidance, when a bank receives a garnishment notice that concerns an account "located" in another state, the bank must first determine whether the issuing court's state is a "Restriction State."
The CFPB's consent order sends a clear directive to banks: Evaluate 1) the law of the issuing state to determine whether it is a restrictive state, 2) where the account is located and 3) the law of the state where the consumer resides to determine exemptions. In addition, it should be noted that the CFPB employed a "look-back" approach against the large national bank. The CFPB analyzed and found garnishment-related violations over the last 11 years. The longer that a bank waits to implement and update its out-of-state garnishment procedures, the greater the liability it will accumulate and the greater the likelihood that the bank will become a target in the CFPB's radar. Therefore, it is imperative that banks comply with the CFPB's guidance regarding out-of-state garnishments. 2ff7e9595c
