Garnishments - Standard Processing - Delimit Garnishment
Use this procedure to delimit a garnishment deduction on the Garnishment Order (0195) and Garnishment Document (0194) infotypes. Perform this procedure if the garnishment should stop but the agency has not received notification from a creditor that the garnishment is released.
If you have received a request to release a garnishment, please use the Garnishments - Standard Processing - Release Garnishment procedure instead.
Once the payroll process has begun for the current period, a garnishment document should not be updated. If you need to change a document after Payroll Day 0 has processed, you will need to contact the Support Center at HereToHelp@ofm.wa.gov to request for Stored Results to be deleted.
Before you begin, if you have questions on administering a garnishment, please contact the Public Records and Constituent Services Unit at the Attorney General’s Office:
