Oregon Department of Revenue Other Agency Account Garnishments


(1) Under ORS 293.250 (Collections Unit), the Department of Revenue may render assistance to recover delinquent debts owed to any entity listed under ORS 293.250 (Collections Unit)(2) that is assigned by the entity to the department for collection, including actions to continuously garnish up to 25 percent of an employee’s disposable earnings.
(2) Under ORS 18.385 (Wage exemption)(4), nonexempt disposable earnings are reduced by an order to withhold child or spousal support under ORS 25.378 (Payment of support by income withholding), 419B.408 (Enforcement of support order) or 419C.600 (Enforcement) or ORS chapter 110. The maximum disposable earnings subject to garnishment for the period is determined under ORS 18.385 (Wage exemption)(2)(a) – 18.385 (Wage exemption)(2)(e), minus any amount required to be withheld from an individual’s disposable earnings for the period pursuant to an order to withhold child or spousal support. The order to withhold child or spousal support may reduce the amount available for garnishment to zero.
(3) Under ORS 18.385 (Wage exemption)(2)(a) – 18.385 (Wage exemption)(2)(e), the nonexempt disposable earnings subject to garnishment for the period is calculated by reducing the individual’s disposable earnings for that period by the amount of disposable earnings exempt from garnishment. The amount of disposable earnings exempt from garnishment is the greater of 75 percent of the disposable earnings for the period under ORS 18.385 (Wage exemption)(1) or the minimum exemption amount under ORS 18.385 (Wage exemption)(2)(a) – 18.385 (Wage exemption)(2)(e).
