The narrow judgment-enforcement prerequisites needed here were freshly read.\n\nThis pass does **not** complete garnishment of bank accounts, deposited benefits or wages, nonwage personal property, tax refunds, support, tax, federal-agency, student-loan, bankruptcy, secured-debt, medical, government, tribal, local, or foreign-country enforcement.\n\n# Executive determination\n\nKansas ordinary wage garnishment is a **postjudgment court process**. It does not begin merely because a debt exists, a consumer enrolls in debt relief, a collector sends a demand, or a creditor obtains an arbitration award without a court judgment. Under both Chapter 60 and Chapter 61, an earnings garnishment may ordinarily be requested only after 14 days have passed following judgment; no prior writ of execution and no creditor bond are required. Kansas prohibits prejudgment garnishment of wages earned by the defendant. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0031_section/060_007_0031_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nAn ordinary Kansas earnings order is continuing. Once properly served, it attaches nonexempt earnings for pay periods ending while the order remains effective. It generally continues until:\n\n- The judgment is paid;\n- The creditor releases the garnishment;\n- The court orders otherwise;\n- A statutory exemption defeats it;\n- Priority liens consume all available withholding capacity;\n- The employer establishes that the debtor was never employed or employment ended; or\n- The employer uses the statutory balance-request procedure after the creditor fails to respond. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0034_section/060_007_0034_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nFor an ordinary debt, the aggregate amount withheld for a pay period is the least of:\n\nPlain text\n```\n25% of aggregate disposable earnings;\n\nthe amount by which disposable earnings exceed\n30 × the federal minimum wage, adjusted for the pay period;\n\nthe amount remaining on the plaintiff’s claim stated in the order.\n```\n\nAt the current federal minimum wage of $7.25, no ordinary garnishment is available when disposable earnings are $217.50 or less weekly, $435 or less biweekly, $471.25 or less semimonthly, or $942.50 or less monthly. The cap applies across all ordinary garnishments in aggregate, not separately to each creditor. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0010_section/060_023_0010_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) ([dol.gov](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/30-cppa?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nKansas has two material protections beyond a simple “25% rule”:\n\n1. If illness of the debtor or a family member prevents the debtor from working at the debtor’s regular occupation for more than two weeks, and the debtor proves that fact by affidavit, wage garnishment is unavailable until two months after recovery. Kansas appellate authority treats the exemption as beginning no earlier than the affidavit and ending two months after the debtor returns to work. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/2018/118457.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n2. If an ordinary account is sold or assigned, the seller and its assignees generally lose access to **wage garnishment** for that account. This restriction is specific to earnings; it does not itself prohibit every other lawful judgment-enforcement method. Statutory exceptions exist for support, specified governmental receivables and taxes, restitution, and debts owed to district courts. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0010_section/060_023_0010_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nKansas does **not** recognize a general head-of-household, sole-support, dependent-child, necessary-expenses, or hardship exemption from an ordinary wage garnishment. A court cannot reduce the statutory amount simply because the debtor is the sole support of a family. The specific illness exemption and other enacted protections control. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/2012/106673.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nThe employer must answer the initial order within 14 days, identify all competing garnishments and priority liens, calculate withholding under the Judicial Council instructions, pay amounts as required, and continue withholding without filing a new answer each pay period. Failure to answer or pay can expose the employer to a court judgment, contempt, expenses, and attorney fees, but only through the statutory motion and notice process—not automatically. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0037_section/060_007_0037_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nKansas prohibits an employer from discharging an employee because the employee’s earnings have been subjected to wage garnishment. Unlike the federal CCPA provision, the Kansas text contains no “one indebtedness” limitation. The Kansas section itself does not specify a private cause of action, damages formula, or enforcement forum, and no controlling current Kansas appellate decision resolving those remedial questions was located in this pass. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0011_section/060_023_0011_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n# A. Route, court, and initiation\n\n## A1. Ordinary postjudgment routes\n\n| Route | When wage garnishment becomes available | Prior execution required? | Bond required? | Main procedure |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **Chapter 60 ordinary civil judgment** | After 14 days following judgment | No | No | K.S.A. 60-729 through 60-743 |\n| **Chapter 61 limited-action judgment** | After 14 days following judgment | No | No | K.S.A. 61-3502 through 61-3516 |\n| **Small-claims judgment** | Follows applicable Chapter 61 enforcement procedure | No | No | Chapter 61 unless Small Claims Act provides otherwise |\n| **Prejudgment wage claim** | Not available | — | — | Kansas expressly bars prejudgment wage garnishment |\n| **Arbitration award without court judgment** | Not established | — | — | Award-to-judgment route is separate |\n| **Debt-relief enrollment or settlement negotiation** | Not a garnishment trigger | — | — | No court process arises automatically |\n\nChapter 60 and Chapter 61 both require the creditor to file a request identifying whether it seeks earnings or other property. If the request concerns support, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or state or federal taxes, that special category must be designated. Those special categories are excluded from the ordinary-debt calculations in this pass. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/061_000_0000_chapter/061_035_0000_article/061_035_0004_section/061_035_0004_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## A2. Prejudgment boundary\n\nKansas permits prejudgment garnishment only through the separate attachment framework and expressly prohibits prejudgment garnishment of wages earned by the defendant. A creditor’s allegation that a consumer may dissipate assets does not authorize prejudgment wage withholding. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0030_section/060_007_0030_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## A3. Filing fee boundary\n\nFor a Chapter 60 garnishment request:\n\n- Statutory base fee: **$7.50**.\n- A poverty affidavit may substitute for the fee.\n- HB 2393, signed in 2026, extended the Supreme Court’s authority to impose an additional nonjudicial-personnel charge through June 30, 2030.\n- Administrative Order 2026-FN-071’s official search rendering shows a **$12.50** garnishment charge effective July 1, 2026, implying a current Chapter 60 total of **$20**.\n\nThe official order PDF returned HTTP 403 and was not read page-by-page, so its exact printed page and PDF index remain unavailable. The current Revisor page also had not yet consolidated HB 2393’s extension when accessed. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0029_section/060_007_0029_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) ([kscourts.gov](https://kscourts.gov/KSCourts/media/KsCourts/Orders/2026-FN-071.pdf?ext=.pdf&utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nFor Chapter 61, the official Kansas Courts search rendering identifies a $12.50 garnishment surcharge, but no fully accessible current statewide Chapter 61 fee document was recovered. No additional amount is asserted here.\n\n# B. Ordinary wage-garnishment workflow\n\n## B1. Complete procedural sequence\n\n| Stage | Actor | Required act or document | Relative time | Effect |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **1. Judgment** | Court | Valid money judgment | Event 0 | No garnishment solely from debt existence |\n| **2. Waiting period** | Creditor | Wait until after 14 days following judgment | 14 days | Garnishment request becomes available |\n| **3. Request** | Judgment creditor | Request for earnings garnishment; designate ordinary or special category; provide unsatisfied balance | After waiting period | Court can issue order |\n| **4. Issuance** | Court/clerk | Order of Garnishment and Answer of Garnishee substantially complying with Judicial Council forms | After proper request | Process directed to employer |\n| **5. Employer service** | Creditor/process server | Serve employer under garnishment service rules | As issued | Continuing earnings lien begins under order |\n| **6. Debtor notice** | Creditor | Immediately send Notice to Judgment Debtor in any reasonable manner | Immediately after employer service | Starts 14-day exemption/hearing period once served |\n| **7. Employer answer** | Employer | File/send single initial answer identifying all creditors, case numbers, orders, balances, priority liens, and calculations | Within 14 days after initial order service | Establishes withholding and payment framework |\n| **8. Withholding** | Employer | Withhold nonexempt earnings for pay periods ending while order remains effective | Each pay period | Funds held for payment under order |\n| **9. Debtor exemption hearing** | Debtor | Request hearing and prove exemption | No later than 14 days after notice service | Court decides exemption/calculation objection |\n| **10. Reply to employer answer** | Creditor or debtor | File reply; serve affected parties and employer; obtain hearing date | Within 14 days after answer sent | Challenger bears burden to disprove answer |\n| **11. Payment** | Employer | If no reply, promptly pay as shown by answer; continue while order effective | After reply period | Creditor receives lawful garnishment proceeds |\n| **12. Accounting** | Creditor | Maintain proceeds, interest, credits, and remaining-balance accounting | Continuing | Court/employer can demand current balance |\n| **13. Release** | Creditor | File release when judgment satisfied; notify debtor and employer | Upon satisfaction | Withholding ends |\n| **14. Employer balance-stop route** | Employer | Request balance; warn after no response; stop later if still no response/objection | 7-day response, then 14-day warning period | Statutory termination route |\n\nThe Chapter 60 order and answer must substantially comply with Judicial Council forms. The order attaches nonexempt earnings for every pay period ending while it remains effective and continues until payment or release. Chapter 61 follows a parallel structure with route-specific statutes and a different employer administrative-fee formula. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0034_section/060_007_0034_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## B2. Service on the employer\n\nIn addition to ordinary process methods, Kansas permits garnishment process to be served:\n\n- By first-class mail to the last known address; service is complete on mailing unless returned undelivered.\n- By fax to a number designated by the garnishee; service is complete on machine confirmation.\n- By email to an address designated by the garnishee under Supreme Court rules; Chapter 60 requires electronic delivery confirmation, while the Chapter 61 text refers to a reply generated by the garnishee. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_003_0000_article/060_003_0003_section/060_003_0003_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nThese are special garnishment-process methods. They do not create a general rule that an ordinary summons, debtor notice, exemption request, or unrelated motion can always be served by email or text.\n\n## B3. Debtor notice\n\nImmediately after the employer is served, the creditor must send the debtor a notice explaining:\n\n- The garnishment order and its effect;\n- The right to claim an exemption;\n- The right to object to the employer’s calculation;\n- The right to request a hearing;\n- The relevant procedure.\n\nThe notice may be sent “in any reasonable manner,” but the actual service date matters because the debtor’s hearing request is due no later than 14 days after service. If the service date cannot be established, an exact deadline cannot responsibly be calculated. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0035_section/060_007_0035_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## B4. Employer answer\n\nThe employer must answer within 14 days after service of the initial order. The answer must:\n\n- Identify all creditors with garnishments against the debtor;\n- Identify case numbers and orders;\n- State the amount due under each;\n- Identify any priority liens;\n- Calculate the garnishable amount;\n- Use an unsworn declaration in the form required by Kansas law.\n\nOnly one answer is required for the continuing order. The employer does not file a fresh answer each pay period. A party or the court may request a detailed written explanation of the calculation, and the employer must provide it by affidavit within 14 days. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0037_section/060_007_0037_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## B5. Reply to the employer’s answer\n\nThe creditor or debtor may challenge the answer within 14 days after the answer is sent. The challenger must:\n\n- File the reply;\n- Send it to the other party;\n- Send it to other affected creditors;\n- Send it to the employer;\n- Obtain a hearing date.\n\nThe hearing is to be scheduled within 30 days. The party filing the reply bears the burden to disprove the employer’s answer. If the employer asserts offsets or liens, the employer bears the burden on those matters. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0038_section/060_007_0038_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## B6. Payment and continuation\n\nIf no timely reply is filed, the employer promptly pays the amounts identified in the answer and continues withholding unless the court directs otherwise. Overpayments must be returned pro rata to other creditors entitled to payment or to the debtor. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0040_section/060_007_0040_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nA settlement request, debt dispute, regulator complaint, payment-plan discussion, appeal notice, or private promise by the creditor to “look into it” does not automatically stop the garnishment. An actual release, exemption order, stay, satisfaction, statutory employer-stop event, or other court order is required.\n\n## B7. Continuing order and release\n\nThe order continues until the judgment is paid or the garnishment is released, whichever occurs first. When the judgment is satisfied, the creditor must file a release and provide copies to the debtor and employer. If the employer reports that the debtor was never employed or employment has terminated, the creditor must promptly release the order. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0034_section/060_007_0034_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## B8. Employer balance-request termination\n\nThe employer may request the current unsatisfied balance from the creditor by:\n\n- First-class mail; or\n- Fax or email with read receipt when sent to the creditor’s attorney.\n\nIf no response arrives within seven days, the employer can send a written warning. If another 14 days pass without a balance response or creditor objection, the employer may stop withholding. This mechanism prevents an employer from withholding indefinitely when the creditor fails to maintain and communicate a current balance. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0034_section/060_007_0034_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n# C. Earnings, disposable earnings, and the ordinary cap\n\n## C1. Kansas definition\n\nCurrent Kansas law defines:\n\n- **Earnings:** Compensation **payable** for personal services, whether called wages, salary, commission, bonus, or otherwise.\n- **Disposable earnings:** Earnings remaining after deductions required by law.\n- **Wage garnishment:** Any legal or equitable procedure requiring earnings to be withheld for payment of debt. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0010_section/060_023_0010_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nIn 2022, HB 2608 deleted “paid or” from Kansas’s earnings definition, leaving compensation “payable.” The Kansas Supreme Court’s 2021 *Stormont-Vail* decision had interpreted the former “paid or payable” language in a deposited-wage dispute. That historical holding does not resolve current protection for wages already deposited into a bank account. A 2025–2026 bill proposing to restore paid compensation, SB 323, died and never became law. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/li_2022/b2021_22/measures/documents/hb2608_enrolled.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/bills/sb323/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nDeposited wages and tracing are therefore reserved for the later bank-account pass.\n\n## C2. Federal definition\n\nThe federal CCPA defines earnings more broadly as compensation **paid or payable** for personal services, including wages, salary, commission, bonus, and periodic pension or retirement payments. The federal ceiling is a nationwide minimum protection; more protective state law remains effective. Kansas is not currently listed as a federally exempt state under 29 C.F.R. §870.57, so federal law continues to apply directly alongside Kansas law. ([uscode.house.gov](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-120/t15/s1672/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) ([ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-V/subchapter-D/part-870?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## C3. Ordinary formula\n\nFor each pay period:\n\nPlain text\n```\nD = aggregate disposable earnings\nP = protected minimum-wage amount for the pay period\nC = unpaid plaintiff claim shown in the garnishment order\n\nMaximum ordinary withholding:\n\nG = min(\n        0.25 × D,\n        max(0, D − P),\n        C\n       )\n```\n\nThe formula is an upper limit. It does not prove:\n\n- That the judgment is valid;\n- That the creditor may use wage garnishment;\n- That the account was not assigned;\n- That no sickness exemption applies;\n- That the creditor has priority;\n- That the employer’s payroll data are accurate.\n\n## C4. Current protected amounts\n\nThe current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. The applicable threshold is the wage in effect when earnings are paid or payable, not the wage in effect when the court issued the garnishment order. ([uscode.house.gov](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-120/t29/s206/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) ([ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-V/subchapter-D/part-870?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n| Pay period | No ordinary garnishment if disposable earnings are at or below | Transitional range | Full 25% branch begins at |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Weekly | $217.50 | More than $217.50 but less than $290.00 | $290.00 |\n| Biweekly | $435.00 | More than $435.00 but less than $580.00 | $580.00 |\n| Semimonthly | $471.25 | More than $471.25 but less than $628.33 | $628.33 |\n| Monthly | $942.50 | More than $942.50 but less than $1,256.66 | $1,256.66 |\n\nFor a different or irregular pay period, the protected amount is calculated using the number of workweeks or fractions represented by the pay. A calendar month is treated as 4⅓ workweeks under the federal regulation. ([dol.gov](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/30-cppa?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## C5. Required versus voluntary deductions\n\nDisposable earnings are reduced only by deductions required by law. Federal guidance identifies examples including:\n\n- Federal, state, and local taxes;\n- Social Security;\n- Medicare;\n- State unemployment tax;\n- Retirement-system deductions required by law.\n\nOrdinarily not subtracted when calculating disposable earnings:\n\n- Voluntary health or life insurance;\n- Union dues;\n- Voluntary retirement contributions;\n- Charitable deductions;\n- Savings-bond purchases;\n- Voluntary wage assignments;\n- Payroll-advance repayment;\n- Employee merchandise purchases. ([dol.gov](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/30-cppa?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nA collective-bargaining agreement, employee handbook, or payroll election does not necessarily make a deduction “required by law.”\n\n## C6. The plaintiff-claim ceiling\n\nKansas adds the plaintiff’s claim stated in the order as a third ceiling. If the legally remaining claim is less than the federal percentage calculation, no more than that remaining amount may be withheld.\n\nThat amount is an input from the court order and creditor accounting. The formula does not validate an incorrect balance, uncredited payment, unlawful fee, or stale interest calculation.\n\n## C7. Employer administrative fee\n\n### Chapter 60\n\nThe employer may retain:\n\nPlain text\n```\n$10 for each 30-day period covered by the order.\n```\n\nThe fee is stated as additional to the garnishment amount. But if the combination of fee and withholding would exceed the K.S.A. 60-2310 ceiling, the fee must be deducted from—not added on top of—the amount otherwise withheld.

([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/061_000_0000_chapter/061_035_0000_article/061_035_0007_section/061_035_0007_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## C8. Multiple garnishments\n\nThe 25% or minimum-wage calculation is an **aggregate** cap. It is not available separately to every ordinary creditor. Federal law does not determine priority; Kansas law and other federal statutes do. ([ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-V/subchapter-D/part-870?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nKansas requires the employer to identify all competing garnishments and priority liens. If priority liens equal or exceed the entire available ceiling, the later ordinary order remains on the employer but no amount is withheld for it until:\n\n- The priority liens are released or satisfied; or\n- Their aggregate withholding falls below the protected ceiling. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0037_section/060_007_0037_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nThe exact current allocation rule among multiple same-priority ordinary creditors was not recovered from accessible primary text. The Judicial Council’s employer instructions are intended to govern the computation, but the current form PDFs were inaccessible. Kansas does expressly require pro rata redistribution of an overpayment among other entitled creditors, with any remainder returned to the debtor. No equal-priority allocation formula is invented here.\n\n## C9. One creditor’s frequency limit\n\nNo one creditor may issue more than one garnishment against the same debtor’s earnings in a 30-day period. Amendments or corrections to party names and addresses remain permitted. The continuing order itself can withhold from all pay periods ending during its effective period; the statute does not require a new writ for each paycheck. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0010_section/060_023_0010_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n# D. Compensation categories and worker classification\n\n## D1. Clearly included ordinary compensation\n\nKansas expressly includes compensation payable for personal services denominated as:\n\n- Wages;\n- Salary;\n- Commission;\n- Bonus;\n- Other equivalent personal-service compensation.\n\nFederal guidance also treats many service-linked lump sums as earnings, including commissions, bonuses, severance, back pay, wage-replacement workers’ compensation, and certain incentives. Whether a particular payment is compensation for personal services remains the central inquiry. ([dol.gov](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/30-cppa?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## D2. Tips\n\nFederal guidance treats as earnings:\n\n- Cash wages paid directly by the employer; and\n- The amount of any valid tip credit claimed by the employer.\n\nTips above the tip-credit amount—or above direct employer wages where no tip credit is used—are not treated as CCPA earnings under that guidance. Kansas-specific appellate treatment of modern tipped compensation under K.S.A. 60-2310 was not located, so the federal guidance supplies a floor rather than a complete Kansas-specific resolution. ([dol.gov](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/30-cppa?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## D3. Independent contractors and gig income\n\nKansas does not make every payment to an independent contractor “earnings.” In *Coward v. Smith*, construction-contract proceeds reflected labor by others, equipment, capital, and materials—not only the debtor’s personal services—so they were not protected earnings. The case also explains that irregular payment intervals alone do not remove personal-service compensation from the earnings definition. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/1981/52-590-6.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nA gig-platform payment therefore requires factual separation of:\n\n- Personal labor;\n- Reimbursement;\n- Equipment or vehicle expense;\n- Materials;\n- Payments to subcontractors or employees;\n- Return on capital;\n- Platform pass-through amounts.\n\nNo universal employee-versus-contractor label determines the result.\n\n## D4. Pensions and retirement payments\n\nThe federal CCPA includes periodic pension and retirement payments in “earnings.” Kansas separately exempts qualified retirement-plan assets and benefits from ordinary creditor claims, subject to specified support and domestic-relations exceptions. Federal pensions received during the preceding three months can also receive a needs-based Kansas exemption supported by affidavit or other proof. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0008_section/060_023_0008_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nA retirement stream therefore cannot be analyzed from the wage formula alone. Full retirement-benefit and bank-deposit tracing remains outside PASS-20.\n\n# E. Debtor exemptions, objections, and hearings\n\n## E1. Automatic protections versus claimed exemptions\n\n| Protection | Automatic or claimed? | Who bears proof burden? | Main effect |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 25% / 30× minimum-wage cap | Automatic | Employer applies; court cannot exceed | Limits aggregate withholding |\n| Plaintiff-claim amount | Automatic from order/accounting | Creditor must maintain balance | Stops withholding beyond lawful balance |\n| Assigned-account prohibition | Legal eligibility restriction | Party invoking or contesting must establish assignment facts | Seller/assignee cannot use ordinary wage garnishment |\n| Sickness/family-illness exemption | Must be established by affidavit | Debtor | Temporarily prevents wage garnishment |\n| General hardship or head-of-household claim | Not enacted | Debtor cannot create new exemption through equity alone | No reduction solely for family expenses |\n| Employer-computation objection | Hearing requested | Challenger bears burden to disprove answer | Court corrects calculation |\n| Pension exemption | Claim/proof may be required | Debtor | Can release exempt retirement money |\n| Bond under K.S.A. 60-722 | Affirmative statutory route | Debtor/applicant | Can discharge garnishee and substitute bond |\n\nFederal garnishment restrictions are not merely affirmative defenses; the court and employer must comply even if the debtor does not appear. ([ecfr.gov](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-29/subtitle-B/chapter-V/subchapter-D/part-870?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## E2. Illness exemption\n\nThe debtor must establish:\n\n1. The debtor was prevented from working at the debtor’s regular trade, profession, or occupation;\n2. The period exceeded two weeks;\n3. The cause was illness of the debtor or a family member;\n4. The facts are shown by affidavit.\n\nWhen established, wage garnishment is unavailable until two months after recovery. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0010_section/060_023_0010_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nIn *In re Marriage of Gerleman*:\n\n- “Family” was not limited to a member of the debtor’s household; a parent could qualify.\n- The exemption began no earlier than the affidavit’s filing.\n- It ended two months after the debtor returned to work, even though the family member’s illness continued. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/2018/118457.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nThe decision arose in a domestic-relations case, but its statutory construction concerned K.S.A. 60-2310(c).\n\n## E3. No general household/dependent exemption\n\nIn *Master Finance v. Pollard*, the debtor was the household’s sole source of support, had an unemployed spouse, and supported a child. The Kansas Court of Appeals held that the court could not create a head-of-household or ordinary-living-expense exemption absent statutory authority. The statutory formula controlled. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/2012/106673.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nDependents matter under the special federal support-garnishment percentage rules, but those rules do not reduce the ordinary consumer-debt formula in this pass.\n\n## E4. Assigned account restriction\n\nIf a person or business sells or assigns an account to another person or collection agency:\n\n- The seller is not entitled to the benefits of wage garnishment;\n- The assignee is not entitled to the benefits of wage garnishment;\n- The restriction follows further assignees.\n\nExceptions exist for specified support rights, governmental receivables or taxes, and court restitution or court debts. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0010_section/060_023_0010_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n*Wagner v. Mahaffey* upheld the restriction and treated it as specific to garnishment of earnings. The current statute no longer contains the older wording that also referred to merely sending or delivering an account to a collection agency. Therefore:\n\n- An actual sale or assignment triggers the current prohibition.\n- Mere nonassignment placement with a collection agent is not expressly within current subsection (d).\n- The agent’s standing, authority, licensing, and real-party status remain separate issues. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/supreme-court/1965/44-152-0.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## E5. Debtor hearing\n\nThe debtor’s hearing request must be filed no later than 14 days after the notice is served. The court hearing must occur not fewer than seven and not more than 14 days after the request is filed.\n\nThe debtor must:\n\n- Obtain the hearing date and time;\n- Immediately hand-deliver or first-class mail a copy of the request to the creditor or creditor’s attorney;\n- Prove the claimed exemption.\n\nThe statute does not provide an automatic additional three days merely because the creditor’s original notice arrived by first-class mail. K.S.A. 60-206(d)’s three-day extension is limited to periods triggered by specified service under K.S.A. 60-205(b)(2)(C) or (D). ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_002_0000_article/060_002_0006_section/060_002_0006_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## E6. Time computation\n\nUnless a statute supplies a different method:\n\n- Exclude the triggering day;\n- Count every intermediate calendar day;\n- Extend a terminal Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday;\n- Extend for clerk-office inaccessibility;\n- Electronic filing ordinarily remains open until midnight in the court’s time zone. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_002_0000_article/060_002_0006_section/060_002_0006_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\nThe exact service date, filing route, holiday calendar, and clerk accessibility must be known before calculating a real deadline.\n\n## E7. No automatic stay from objection alone\n\nThe employer continues under the order unless:\n\n- The court orders otherwise;\n- The garnishment is released;\n- An exemption is granted;\n- A valid bond substitutes for the garnished property;\n- The statutory employer-balance procedure ends withholding;\n- Another statutory event applies.\n\nA hearing request, answer reply, settlement discussion, or complaint does not by itself constitute a release or stay.\n\n# F. Employer duties, fees, liability, and retaliation\n\n## F1. Employer-duty matrix\n\n| Employer duty | Chapter 60 | Chapter 61 | Consequence of noncompliance |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Answer initial order | Within 14 days | Within 14 days | Creditor can move for employer liability |\n| Identify competing orders | Yes | Yes | Incorrect allocation can be challenged |\n| Apply automatic earnings cap | Yes | Yes | Excess withholding violates state and federal law |\n| Withhold each pay period | While order effective | While order effective | Failure to pay can lead to contempt or judgment |\n| File repeated answers | No | No | One answer ordinarily suffices |\n| Explain calculations | Affidavit within 14 days after request | Same | Court review |\n| Retain administrative fee | $10 per 30 days | $10/pay period, max $20/30 days | Fee cannot enlarge total statutory withholding |\n| Pay creditor | As answer/order directs | Same | Failure can trigger motion |\n| Account for priority liens | Yes | Yes | Later ordinary order may receive zero temporarily |\n| Stop when released/satisfied | Yes | Yes | Continued withholding may be improper |\n| Respond to balance process | Operational role | Operational role | Employer can eventually stop withholding |\n\n## F2. Failure to answer\n\nIf the employer fails to answer, the creditor may file a motion. Copies must be served on the employer and debtor under K.S.A. 60-205. The court may enter judgment against the employer for:\n\n- Up to the amount of the creditor’s judgment;\n- Another reasonable amount under the circumstances;\n- Expenses and attorney fees.\n\nLiability is not automatic merely because an answer was late. The statutory motion and court determination are required. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0041_section/060_007_0041_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## F3. Failure to pay\n\nIf the employer answers but fails or refuses to pay as required, the creditor may seek:\n\n- Contempt;\n- A fine;\n- Judgment for the amount due;\n- Expenses and attorney fees.\n\nAgain, the court—not the creditor unilaterally—determines the consequence. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_007_0000_article/060_007_0042_section/060_007_0042_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## F4. Employer never employed the debtor\n\nIf the employer’s answer says the debtor was never employed or is no longer employed, the creditor must promptly release the order.\n\nIn *Mainland Investment Group v. Smith*, the employer had never employed the debtor and the creditor released the garnishment. The court held that the released order could no longer support a default judgment against the employer. A creditor stands in the debtor’s shoes and cannot obtain wages the debtor never earned from that employer. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/kansas/court-of-appeals/2017/116921.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n## F5. Employer defenses and offsets\n\nThe employer can assert:\n\n- No employment relationship;\n- No earnings payable;\n- Prior liens;\n- Offsets;\n- Exempt earnings;\n- Incorrect debtor identity;\n- Order release or termination;\n- Other defenses recognized by the garnishment statutes.\n\nWhen an answer is challenged, the challenger ordinarily bears the burden to disprove it; the employer bears the burden on affirmative offsets or liens.\n\n## F6. Anti-discharge protection\n\n### Kansas\n\nK.S.A. 60-2311 states without qualification:\n\nPlain text\n```\nNo employer may discharge an employee\nbecause the employee’s earnings have been\nsubjected to wage garnishment.\n```\n\nThe section does not limit its text to one indebtedness. ([kslegislature.gov](https://www.kslegislature.gov/b2025_26/laws/060_000_0000_chapter/060_023_0000_article/060_023_0011_section/060_023_0011_k/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n### Federal\n\n15 U.S.C. §1674 prohibits discharge because earnings were garnished for **any one indebtedness**. A willful federal violation can result in a fine up to $1,000, imprisonment up to one year, or both. Federal law preserves more protective state anti-discharge rules. ([uscode.house.gov](https://uscode.house.gov/us/usc/119-120/t15/s1674/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))\n\n### Unresolved Kansas remedy\n\nK.S.A. 60-2311 does not itself state:\n\n- A private cause of action;\n- Reinstatement;\n- Back pay;\n- Damages;\n- Attorney fees;\n- An administrative complaint route;\n- A limitations period.\n\nNo controlling current Kansas appellate opinion supplying those remedial details was located in the bounded official search. No remedy is invented from the prohibition alone.\n\n# G. Forms and official operational materials\n\n## G1. Current Judicial Council form inventory\n\nThe official Kansas Judicial Council Chapter 60 and Chapter 61 garnishment pages list the following earnings forms:\n\n- Request for Garnishment (earnings);\n- Order of Garnishment (earnings);\n- Answer of Garnishee (earnings);\n- Instructions to Garnishee (earnings);\n- Written Explanation of Computations (earnings);\n- Request for Written Explanation and Affidavit (earnings);\n- Notice to Judgment Debtor (earnings);\n- Release of Garnishment.\n\nDirect access to the pages and individual form files returned HTTP 403 during final verification.

The forms are sufficient procedural templates, not the source of substantive eligibility or exemptions.\n\n## G2.

It is not $100 per creditor.\n\nThe exact allocation between equal-priority A and B is held because the current Judicial Council employer instructions were inaccessible. The employer must follow the governing order, instructions, and any court determination.\n\n## I8. Priority lien consumes available capacity\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Weekly disposable earnings: $400.\n- Ordinary cap: $100.\n- A legally superior garnishment already requires $100.\n\nPlain text\n```\nOrdinary cap                       $100\nPriority withholding               100\nRemaining ordinary capacity          0\n```\n\n**Result:** A later ordinary order remains effective but receives no withholding until the priority lien is released, satisfied, or drops below $100.\n\n## I9. Sold credit-card account\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Original creditor sold the consumer account to Debt Buyer B.\n- B obtains a Kansas judgment.\n- No K.S.A. 60-2310(d) exception applies.\n\n**Result:** Debt Buyer B is not entitled to the benefits of wage garnishment on that assigned account. The assignment restriction is independent of the numerical wage formula.\n\nThis does not establish that:\n\n- The judgment is invalid;\n- The judgment is satisfied;\n- Every nonwage remedy is unavailable;\n- The assignment is void;\n- B can garnish a bank account.\n\nThose are separate questions.\n\n## I10. Worker classification uncertain\n\n**Facts**\n\n- A platform pays $2,000.\n- $1,100 compensates personal labor.\n- $500 reimburses vehicle and equipment expense.\n- $400 is attributable to subcontracted work.\n- The agreement calls the worker an independent contractor.\n\nPotential branches:\n\nPlain text\n```\nPersonal-service component          $1,100\nExpense/capital/subcontractor         900\n```\n\nKansas law does not allow the label alone to decide whether all $2,000 is “earnings.” The payer, contract, economic substance, payroll records, expense treatment, and actual services must be examined. No withholding amount is calculated.\n\n## I11. Hearing deadline with established service date\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Notice to debtor was validly served Monday, November 2, 2026.\n- K.S.A. 60-206 applies.\n- No emergency order, holiday-terminal date, or clerk inaccessibility.\n\nPlain text\n```\nTrigger day excluded                Nov. 2\nDay 1                               Nov. 3\nDay 14                              Nov. 16, 2026\n```\n\n**Hearing-request deadline:** Monday, November 16, 2026.\n\nIf filed that day, the hearing must be held between:\n\nPlain text\n```\nEarliest: 7 days after filing       Nov. 23, 2026\nLatest: 14 days after filing        Nov. 30, 2026\n```\n\n### Missing-service-date branch\n\nIf the record shows only that notice was “sent sometime in November,” no reliable deadline can be calculated.\n\n## I12. Employment retaliation\n\n### One indebtedness\n\n- Employee’s wages are garnished for one consumer judgment.\n- Employer discharges employee because of the garnishment.\n\nBoth Kansas and federal text prohibit that reason for discharge.\n\n### Multiple indebtednesses\n\n- Employee has wage garnishments for two unrelated debts.\n- Employer discharges employee because wages are being garnished.\n\nFederal §1674’s protection is expressly tied to one indebtedness. Kansas §60-2311 contains no such qualifier and is textually more protective. The precise Kansas remedy, damages, forum, and limitation period remain unresolved.\n\n## I13. Continuing order and creditor nonresponse\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Employer is withholding under a continuing order.\n- Employer requests current balance.\n- Creditor does not respond within seven days.\n- Employer sends statutory written warning.\n- Creditor still does not respond or object during the next 14 days.\n\n**Result:** The employer may stop withholding under the statutory procedure.\n\nA private belief that the judgment has probably been paid is not enough; the employer must follow the statutory request and warning sequence.\n\n## I14. Disputed remaining balance\n\n**Assumptions**\n\n- Weekly disposable earnings: $400.\n- Formula cap: $100.\n- Order says only $40 remains.\n- Debtor contends the judgment was already fully paid.\n\nCalculation using the order input:\n\nPlain text\n```\n25% branch                         $100.00\nExcess branch                      $182.50\nOrder claim branch                  $40.00\n\nMaximum under stated order:\nmin($100, $182.50, $40)            $40.00\n```\n\nThe $40 calculation does not prove that $40 is lawfully owed. The debtor can separately challenge the creditor’s accounting, payments, credits, satisfaction, or underlying judgment through the appropriate court procedure.\n\n# J.

The order is continuing: the employer answers once, withholds from later pay periods, observes the aggregate federal and Kansas ceilings, pays according to the statutory process, and continues until satisfaction, release, priority displacement, exemption, or another lawful termination event.\n\nThe amount is not always 25%. It is the least of 25% of disposable earnings, the amount above the minimum-wage floor for that pay period, and the remaining claim. Only legally required deductions reduce disposable earnings, and the cap applies across all ordinary creditors.\n\nKansas materially narrows the remedy through the illness exemption and its prohibition on using wage garnishment after an ordinary account has been sold or assigned. It does not, however, provide a general head-of-household or hardship exemption. Debtor objections have short notice-based hearing periods, while employer answers, creditor accounting, balance requests, and releases create a continuing administrative system.\n\nFinally, Kansas’s anti-discharge rule is textually broader than the federal one-indebtedness protection, but its private enforcement route remains unresolved in the primary authority reviewed.\n\n**END S_KS PASS-20.**\n\n","tables":[{"headers":["Route","When wage garnishment becomes available","Prior execution required?","Bond required?","Main procedure"],"index":0,"links":[],"row_links":[[],[],[],[],[],[],[]],"rows":[["Route","When wage garnishment becomes available","Prior execution required?","Bond required?","Main procedure"],["Chapter 60 ordinary civil judgment","After 14 days following judgment","No","No","K.S.A. 60-729 through 60-743"],["Chapter 61 limited-action judgment","After 14 days following judgment","No","No","K.S.A. 61-3502 through 61-3516"],["Small-claims judgment","Follows applicable Chapter 61 enforcement procedure","No","No","Chapter 61 unless Small Claims Act provides otherwise"],["Prejudgment wage claim","Not available","—","—","Kansas expressly bars prejudgment wage garnishment"],["Arbitration award without court judgment","Not established","—","—","Award-to-judgment route is separate"],["Debt-relief enrollment or settlement negotiation","Not a garnishment trigger","—","—","No court process arises automatically"]]},{"headers":["Stage","Actor","Required act or document","Relative time","Effect"],"index":1,"links":[],"row_links":[[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[]],"rows":[["Stage","Actor","Required act or document","Relative time","Effect"],["1.
