Garnishment of Accounts Containing Federal Benefit Payments
Treasury, SSA, VA, RRB and OPM (Agencies) are issuing an interim final rule to implement statutory restrictions on the garnishment of Federal benefit payments. The rule establishes procedures that financial institutions must follow when they receive a garnishment order against an account holder who receives certain types of Federal benefit payments by direct deposit. The rule requires financial institutions that receive such a garnishment order to determine the sum of such Federal benefit payments deposited to the account during a two month period, and to ensure that the account holder has access to an amount equal to that sum or to the current balance of the account, whichever is lower.
On Behalf of the Accessibility Committee of the Federal CIO Council (29 U.S.C. 794d); Listening Session on Improving the Accessibility of Government Information
This notice announces a listening session on improving the accessibility of government information. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794d) requires federal agencies to buy and use electronic and information technology (EIT) that is accessible. On July 19, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued to a memo to federal agencies on ``Improving the Accessibility of Government Information'' which directs them to take stronger steps toward improving the acquisition and implementation of accessible technology. In order to better understand the needs of diverse communities and provide better solutions, the U.S. Council of CIOs, in collaboration with the Chief Acquisition Officers Council, the GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy, and the U.S. Access Board, is holding the first in a series of listening sessions to encourage citizens and employees to express their concerns and propose ideas. Persons with disabilities, their advocates, and government employees are invited to participate.
