ACTION: Joint notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM (Agencies) are publishing for comment a proposed rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments. The Agencies are taking this action in response to recent developments in technology and debt collection practices that have led to an increase in the freezing of accounts containing Federal benefit payments. The proposed rule would establish procedures that financial institutions must follow when a garnishment order is received for an account into which Federal benefit payments have been directly deposited. The proposed rule would require financial institutions that receive a garnishment order for an account to determine whether any Federal benefit payments were deposited to the account within 60 calendar days prior to receipt of the order and, if so, would require the financial institution to ensure that the account holder has access to an amount equal to the sum of such payments in the account or to the current balance of the account, whichever is lower.

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted April 29, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 29, 2010 But what if it is a federal agency that wants the money? If VA decides to take back money from a direct deposit they just do it, or am I mistaken? If you owe VA they will take you SSA money and vice-versa if you lose appeals or don't appeal.

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted April 30, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 30, 2010 I hope this helps some folks. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnishment of Accounts Containing Federal Benefit Payments
AGENCY: Department of the Treasury, Fiscal Service (Treasury); Social
Security Administration (SSA); Department of Veterans Affairs (VA);
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB); Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
ACTION: Joint notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUMMARY: Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM (Agencies) are publishing for
comment a proposed rule to implement statutory restrictions on the
garnishment of Federal benefit payments. The Agencies are taking this
action in response to recent developments in technology and debt
collection practices that have led to an increase in the freezing of
accounts containing Federal benefit payments.
The proposed rule would establish procedures that financial institutions
must follow when a garnishment order is received for an account into which
Federal benefit payments have been directly deposited.
The proposed rule would require financial institutions that receive a
garnishment order for an account to determine whether any Federal benefit
payments were deposited to the account within 60 calendar days prior to
receipt of the order and, if so, would require the financial institution to
ensure that the account holder has access to an amount equal to the sum of
such payments in the account or to the current balance of the account, whichever is
lower.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 18, 2010.
