The garnishment amount is limited to 25% of a person's disposable earnings for that week (what's left after mandatory deductions) or the amount by which a person's disposable earnings for that week exceed 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage, whichever is less. (15 U.S.C. § 1673).

Payment of the total liability releases a wage garnishment. The Department mails wage garnishment release letters to the employer. If an additional balance accrues on a delinquent account, the Department may issue another garnishment. If the Department issues a garnishment in error, it is released upon verification.

North Carolina is unique in that it doesn't allow a creditor with a money judgment to garnish wages. However, if the creditor got an out-of-state garnishment, federal garnishment limits apply. And the creditor can use other approaches to collect a debt, such as taking money out of a bank account.
