Wage Garnishments in Palm Beach County

Were your wages recently garnished by the IRS?

Salaries, retirement earnings, bonuses, and even income from a pension can all be subject to this enforcement measure.

How Much of Your Wage Can Be Garnished?

Wage garnishment in Palm Beach County is governed by both federal and state laws, specifically the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA). Here's a brief overview of the key points:

Maximum Garnishment Percentage

The CCPA limits the amount of wages that can be garnished to 25% of disposable income. Disposable income is what remains after mandatory deductions like taxes and Social Security contributions.

Special Considerations

Different debts may have varying garnishment limits. Child support, alimony, and unpaid taxes often have higher priority, allowing for a larger percentage of disposable income to be garnished.

Florida-Specific Exemptions

Florida provides exemptions affecting garnishment. Social Security benefits, unemployment compensation, and disability benefits are generally exempt. Head of household exemptions may also apply, offering additional protection for those supporting dependents.

Legal Assistance

If you're facing wage garnishment, consulting with a Palm Beach County wage garnishment lawyer is crucial. They can assess your situation, explain your rights, and explore potential defenses or exemptions under Florida law.
