SBA may order your employer to pay a portion of your disposable pay to satisfy delinquent non-tax debt owed to the United States through a process called administrative wage garnishment (AWG).
SBA debtors undergoing AWG have the right to a hearing before a hearing official if it’s requested in writing disputing either (1) the existence or amount of the debt, or (2) the terms of the repayment schedule (except a repayment schedule the debtor and SBA agreed to in writing).
