WEBINAR NOW AVAILBLE
Watch the Legal Order Roundtable’s third webinar featuring Ginevra Ventre of Reed Smith law firm, where we discuss the leveraging and limitations of AI tools when processing Multi-State Garnishments.
TOPICS
Internal audit groups are turning their attention to 31 CFR 212 — the federal benefit garnishment rules — making operational compliance and timeline accuracy a priority for processing teams regardless of institution size. This 30-minute session covers the compliance nuances auditors are asking about and the steps to prepare.- ✓How to correctly apply the two-business-day rule — both for the initial examination for a Notice of Right to Garnish Federal Benefits and for the account review for exempt funds
- ✓Why the lookback is a two-calendar-month calculation (roughly 60–63 days) rather than a flat 60-day window of ACH transactions — and how that mistake shows up in testing
- ✓Proactive steps to prepare for compliance reviews and hold up under audit scrutiny
