Title: Administrative Wage Garnishment (To Repay a Debt Owed to the Social Security Administration) (724F) 
Abstract: This initiative will enable the Social Security Administration (SSA) to use administrative wage garnishment to collect administrative debts and to collect qualifying, delinquent titles II and XVI overpayment debts owed by individuals who are now employed in other than Federal employment. Administrative wage garnishment allows SSA to order an employer to deduct a percentage of the disposable pay earned by the worker/debtor and to send that amount to SSA as payment toward satisfying the delinquent debt. Administrative wage garnishment does not require a court judgment to impose the withholding order.
