SJI Published by the State Court Administrative Office P-01 (10/06) HOW TO COMPLETE THE GARNISHEE DISCLOSURE FORM FOR PERIODIC GARNISHMENTS Follow these instructions if you receive a "Request and Writ for Garnishment (Periodic)," form MC 12, and "Garnishee Disclosure," form MC 14. You must complete form MC 14 and send copies to the court and all partieswithin 14 days of the date you receive these forms. A periodic garnishment means that the plaintiff has the right to take part or all of a defendant's payments to pay for a judgment. You have been identified as a "garnishee," a person who has control over some or all of the moneythat is paid to the defendant. As the garnishee, you are being ordered to give all or part of this money to the plaintiff instead of the defendant. You are required to take money for up to 91 days or until the judgment amount in item 2 of the Request on form MC 12has been paid in full, whichever occurs first. If you do not do this, a judgment may be entered against you. As soon as you receive forms MC 12 and MC 14, determine whether you are obligated to make periodic payments to the defendant. Periodic payments are payments you make to the defendant on a regular basis. These paymentsmay be paychecks, rent payments, land contract payments, or other contract payments. 1. Write in the date the garnishment was issued (in the lower left-hand corner of form MC 12). Then write in the date you received forms MC 12 and MC 14.
