Document Number: 2012-15507
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2012-06-26

TRICARE Management Activity Adoption of Department of the Treasury's Administrative Wage Garnishment Procedures
Document Number: 2012-15506
Type: Notice
Date: 2012-06-26
Agency: Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary
This notice is to advise TRICARE sponsors, beneficiaries, providers, physicians, other suppliers of services or supplies, and any other persons who for any reason have been erroneously paid under TRICARE, that TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) is adopting by reference Department of the Treasury (Treasury) administrative wage garnishment procedures as established at 31 CFR 285.11.

When a TMA debtor is employed in the private sector or by a state or local government, Treasury may be able to collect the debt by garnishing a portion of the debtor's disposable pay as defined in 31 CFR 285.11. Administrative wage garnishment will not affect a significant number of TMA debtors, as TMA estimates 6% of its debt cases and less than 0.3% of total debt may be eligible for collection with this tool.
