Hi again,
I have more questions. I keep seeing this guidline for ganishment amount and I wondered if I was understanding it correctly.
So, if it says 30 times the federal minimum wage ( which is now $6.55/hour) that they are garnishing everything over that amount, that basically means they are leaving you with 30 hours of $6.55 an hour, per week to live on? Ouch!!
That hardly seems like an appropriate amount to leave a person to live on. It boggles my mind that they are able to garnish people living under the poverty level.
Anyway I was just curious if I was understanding that correctly. Maybe I should consider myself lucky that I am only being garnished at 15%.
Oh, a couple other questions...can they garnish more than one employer at a time? And can they keep your income tax return and earned income credit if your already being garnished? This would be in Nebraska.
Thank you very much.![]()
