Purpose

To advise agencies of the removal of the first five (5) digits of the employee's Social Security number from the Garnishment Notification Reports.

Affected Employees

Employees who appear on Payroll Garnishment Reports (NBEN744, NBEN745 or NBEN746)

Effective Date(s)

August 4, 2006

Background

In our continuing effort to secure employees’ personal data, the first five (5) digits of the employee’s Social Security number will be suppressed (XXX-XX-1234) with reports generated on August 4, 2006.

Agencies must access the appropriate Control-D reports each week and print and distribute the information to their employees listed on these reports.

The NBEN744 lists employees who have a new or amended Child Support or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Order placed against his/her wages. An amended order page will be created when a change has been made on the Garn Spec panels to the Weekly Deduction Amount, Account Number and Court Officer fields only.

The NBEN745 lists employees who have a new Creditor Garnishment order placed against his/her wages (eg.  State Tax, Student Loan, Creditor Garnishments).

The NBEN746 lists employees who have a new Federal Levy order placed against his/her wages.
