On February 23, 1994, the Department of State gave notice that requests for payments pursuant to court-ordered garnishments as authorized under 5 U.S.C. 5520a for all employees of the Department of State are to be submitted to the Executive Director (L/EX), Office of the Legal Adviser, Department of State, room 5519, 2201 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 20520, (202) 647-8323. The Department now gives notice that, in order to standardize its processing of garnishments, it is instituting use of a Garnishment Application for garnishments under 5 U.S.C. 5520a, as well as garnishments for child support or alimony under 42 U.S.C. 659, 661 and 662. The Garnishment Application can be obtained from the office listed above, or from Ms. Sheila McCoy, at 202-647-7359. Use of the application form is voluntary. However, failure to provide requested information may result in delay in processing a garnishment or return of the request.
