FAQ
Federal law limits the amount of earnings that may be garnished to 25 percent of the debtor's disposable income. (Disposable earnings are the amount of earnings left after legally required deductions e.g., federal, state taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurance and medical insurance.)
A creditor may not garnish more than 25% of your wages per pay period. For individuals earning minimum wage or near minimum wage, you must be left with an amount equal to 30 times the Maryland minimum hourly wage.
A creditor who obtains a judgment against you is the "judgment creditor." You are the "judgment debtor" in the case. A judgment lasts for 12 years and the plaintiff can renew the judgment for another 12 years.
10 days following the judgment, the creditor becomes a judgment creditor and can begin the wage garnishment process. Under Md. Rules 3-646 and 2-646, the judgment creditor must file a Request for Writ of Garnishment in the case, which once issued is served upon the judgment debtor's last known address.
Maryland's wage garnishment laws say that the amount a creditor can take from your weekly earnings is whichever of these two amounts is less: 25% of your weekly disposable earnings; or. (Your weekly disposable earnings) minus (Maryland's minimum hourly wage, multiplied by 30).
