The federal guideline is 15%, but i have seen up to 25% many times.
There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.
The maximum amount by federal guidelines is 25% of disposable income. Some states have their own garnishment laws which are usually less. If the state percentage of garnishment is less then the federal that will be the one imposed.
25%
The maximum is 25%
The maximum federal garnishment is 25% the maximum NY state garnishment is 10% (this does not apply to child support or spousal maintenance). Therefore the state garnishment would be the lowest, but if the student loan(s) are federally subsidized the law may allow for the higher federal garnishment to be used depending upon the person's financial status. Such issues as being disabled, head of household, and so forth would be a factor in the percentage of garnishment allowed.
50% of disposable income.
The state uses the federal garnishment amount of 25% of disposable weekly income with the first $154.50 being exempt from garnishment. Tennesee garnishment are generally allowed for a maximum of three months and then the garnishment order must be renewed by the garnisher.
Maybe. Federal or state law determines the percentage of wage garnishment. Under federal law the maximum garnishment is 25% or 30 x minimum wage/$382.50 with the first $217.50 of disposable income being exempt. If the state where the garnishee resides has a garnishment percentage less than the federal allowance, (many do), that will be the maximum amount subject to garnishment.
up to 25% of after-tax income may be garnished.
The maximum under federal law is 25% of disposable income. If the state in which the garnishment is executed has a lower percentage of wage garnishment than 25% that is the one that is assessed.
If its a credit card or any other type of personal signature loan, the maximum amount is 15%.
I believe it 17% for 1 child. For 2 children it is 25%.
The first thirty days of paid salary after the garnishment order has been placed in effect are exempt from execution. After the thirty days expires all other wages can be garnished at the maximum of 25%. Child support is not considered garnishment under Mississippi law. If a child support withholding is in effect the amount will be deducted before the garnishment action, and will not reduce the percentage of wage garnishment ordered by the court.
