Federal Criminal Restitution Wage Garnishment Limit?

If you are on supervised release, you must pay according to the schedule in the Judgment in a Criminal Case; that amount may not be altered by anyone (AUSA/USPO) without approval from the US District Court. If you have completed your term of supervised release, the restitution may be recovered like any civil judgment for a period of 20 years from the later of the judgment or your release from custody. In any event, no more than 25% of your net income (gross less standard deductions only) may be garnished. See 18 USC Section 3664 and the references to the relevant statutes therein.
