Wage Order (For Use In Chapter 13 Cases Filed On Or After 7-1-03) {EDC 3-083-03}

EDC 3-083-03 - WAGE ORDER. This form is issued by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California. It directs the employer of a debtor to deduct a specified amount from the debtor’s wages each month and forward it to the Chapter 13 Trustee. This wage deduction is typically part of the debtor’s repayment plan under Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The form ensures that the debtor makes regular payments to the trustee, who then distributes the funds to creditors as outlined in the bankruptcy plan. The order specifies that standard payroll deductions for taxes, insurance, and other mandatory contributions are not affected. This is a voluntary wage order and may include money for living expenses, such as mortgage and vehicle payments. Therefore, the salary percentage deduction limitations set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure § 706.050 and 15 U.S.C. § 1673(a) do not apply. The order must be served on the debtor's current and future employers, and the funds sent to the trustee should be identified by the debtor's name and case number. www.FormsWorkflow.com
