The percentage of garnishment is the same regardless of the garnishee's status. The maximum garnishment if 25% of disposable income, If the debtor makes less than $290 per week that amount is exempt from attachment. If the debtor makes more than stated weekly amount $217.50 is exempt from garnishment.

In addition if the garnishment law of the state where the debtor resides is less than the federal allowance of 25% the lower percentage is used.
