OH Garnishment Law
Ohio follows federal wage garnishment limits under the Consumer Credit Protection Act but provides an additional minimum exemption. Ohio law requires that at least $425.00 per week of personal earnings be exempt from garnishment, which is nearly double the federal protection of $217.50 per week. This provides significant additional protection for Ohio workers.
