Important Notes

  • The State of Michigan cannot honor judgments from non-Michigan courts. The only exception is federal garnishments.
  • The defendant's Social Security Number or Federal Employee Identification Number (FEIN) MUST be correctly identified on the Request and Writ for Garnishment to specifically identify whose income tax refund and/or credit to intercept.
  • The Michigan Department of Treasury also requires the Social Security Number or FEIN of the party to whom the intercepts are to be remitted. This must be clearly identified in the area designated "Plaintiff name and address," and/or "Plaintiff's attorney, bar no., and address."
  • The appropriate forms must be filed with a District or Circuit Court and bear the signature of the Deputy Court Clerk or the imprint of the seal of the court.
