By law, you are entitled to an exemption of not less than 80% of your disposable
19earnings. Your "disposable earnings" are those remaining after social security and
20federal and state income taxes are withheld.
AB966,66,2121
Your earnings are completely exempt from garnishment if:
AB966,66,2422
1. Your household income is below the federal poverty level, or this
23garnishment would cause that to happen. See the enclosed schedules and worksheet
24to determine if you qualify for this exemption.
AB966,67,5
12. You receive aid to families with dependent children, relief funded by a relief
2block grant under ch. 49, relief provided by counties under section 59.07 (154) of the
3Wisconsin Statutes, medical assistance, supplemental security income, food stamps,
4or veterans benefits based on need under USC 501 to 562 or section 45.351 (1) of the
5Wisconsin Statutes, or have received these benefits within the past 6 months.
AB966,67,76
3. At least 25% of your disposable earnings are assigned by court order for
7support.
AB966,67,108
If you qualify for a complete exemption, you must give or mail a copy of the
9enclosed debtor's answer form to the garnishee in order to receive that increased
10exemption.
AB966,67,1211
If your circumstances change while the garnishment is in effect, you may file
12a new answer at any time.
AB966,67,1613
If you do not qualify for a complete exemption, but you will not be able to acquire
14the necessities of life for yourself and your dependents if your earnings are reduced
15by this earnings garnishment, you may ask the court in which this earnings
16garnishment was filed to increase your exemption or grant you other relief.
AB966,67,1717
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
AB966,67,1818
CONSULT AN ATTORNEY
AB966,67,2419
If you have earnings that are being garnisheed that are exempt or subject to a
20defense, the sooner you file your answer or seek relief from the court, the sooner such
21relief can be provided. This earnings garnishment affects your earnings in pay
22periods beginning within 13 weeks after it was served on the garnishee. You may
23agree in writing with the creditor to extend it for additional 13-week periods until
24the debt is paid.
AB966,68,3
1If you wrongly claim an exemption or defense in bad faith, or if the creditor
2wrongly objects to your claim in bad faith, the court may order the person who acted
3in bad faith to pay court costs, actual damages and reasonable attorney fees.
