Effective 1-1-21, creditor garnishments will continue for 1,095 days (currently 179 days). The maximum amount that can be garnished for private student loan debts will be 15% of the employee’s weekly disposable income. The employer is required to comply with the 15% maximum, rather than the usual 25% maximum for other creditor garnishments, only if the summons of garnishment or court order in the pending garnishment conspicuously states that it is based on private student loan debt.
