Title: Department of Labor Administrative Wage Garnishment
Abstract: The regulation provides procedures Department of Labor (DOL), in conjunction with Treasury, uses to collect money by means of administrative wage garnishment from debtors to satisfy delinquent nontax debts owed to DOL. In accordance with procedures set forth in 31 CFR 285.11, DOL, through the Department of Treasury, may request that a non-Federal employer garnish the disposable pay of an individual. It outlines a notice and hearing process for debtors to challenge garnishment orders. The Treasury Department, in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget, has been looking for ways to improve debt collection across the Federal government. Twenty-nine other agencies have already implemented the wage garnishment tool, and OCFO believes it would be useful for DOL to follow their example.
