Table notes
Table note 1
On April 1, 2019, a new FOAEAA Part II fee structure was implemented. This amendment eliminates the provision of the carry forward over the five-year period and revises the fee to $38 annually for processing every garnishee summons issued against a support debtor on or after April 1, 2019. The old rules continue to apply for garnishee summons served on Her Majesty before April 1, 2019 until each of them reaches the 2019-20 anniversary date (day and month) they were first received ; after that day, the new rules apply. Once the anniversary date is reached, all accumulated uncollected fees from previous years are remitted.
