CLAIM OF EXEMPTION FROM
EXECUTION
,
Defendant(s).
I
submit this Claim of Exemption from Execution because the levied property is exempt under the
following categories as checked
(check the boxes that apply to what is being garnished or what was garnished).
Exempt monies from my bank account were garnished. NRS 21.105(1)-(2), 31 CFR 212.3. (If you
checked this box, and your account was garnished more than the allowable amount, also check one of the 3 boxes below.)
All the monies that were taken are traceable as exempt.
In the two months before service of the Writ of Execution, there were electronic deposits that
were identifiable as exempt (e.g., direct deposits from the U.S. Treasury, like Social Security
benefits), so at least $2,000 of my account is exempt.
Less than $400.00 was left in my bank account.
Social Security benefits, including retirement, supplemental security income, and disability. NRS
21.090(1)(y).
Child support or spousal support. NRS 21.090(1)(s)-(t).
Workers’ Compensation. NRS 21.090(1)(gg).
Unemployment Compensation. NRS 21.090(1)(h).
Veterans’ benefits. 38 U.S.C. § 5301.
Life insurance benefits. NRS 21.090(1)(k).

My wages have been garnished more than the allowable amount. NRS 21.090(1)(g). (If you checked this box,
and your earnings are being garnished more than the allowable amount, also check one of the 3 boxes below.)
My gross weekly salary is more than $770, and 75% of my earnings are exempt.
My gross weekly salary is between $362.50 and $770, and at least 82% of my disposable
earnings are exempt.
My disposable weekly earnings do not exceed $362.50 so all of my earnings are exempt.
(To calculate what amount you are allowed to be garnished, see the footnote.

How to determine what the allowable amount is that can be garnished from your paycheck:
1
. Find the date of the most recent Writ of Garnishment.
2. Get paystub for the pay period ending as of the most recent Writ of Garnishment.
3. Find your year-to-date gross earnings on that paystub.
4. Divide the year-to-date gross earnings by the number of weeks you have worked in the current calendar year. This is your Gross
Weekly Salary.
a. If your Gross Weekly Salary is less than $362.50, then you cannot be garnished at all. Check the box that says, “My
disposable weekly earnings do not exceed $362.50 so all my earnings are exempt.
b. If your Gross Weekly Salary is higher than $770, then you can be garnished 25%, so proceed to next step. If your Gross
Weekly Salary is between $362.51 and $769.99, then you can be garnished up to 18%, so proceed to next step.
5. Go back to the paystub, and look at the gross weekly income on that paystub, then subtract the amounts set aside for federal tax,
Medicare, and Social Security. This is your Disposable Weekly Earnings.
a. If your Disposable Weekly Earnings are less than $362.50, then you cannot be garnished at all. Check the box that says,
“My disposable weekly earnings do not exceed $362.50 so all my earnings are exempt.”
b. If your Gross Weekly Salary was higher than $770, then take your Disposable Weekly Earnings and multiply it by 75%.
This is the amount you should have been paid after the garnishment. If you got paid less than that number, then you might
have been garnished more than the allowable amount. If this is the case, check the box that says, “My gross weekly salary
is more than $770, and 75% of my earnings are exempt.
c. If your Gross Weekly Salary was between $362.50 and $769.99, then take your Disposable Weekly Earnings and multiply
it by 82%. This is the amount you should have been paid after the garnishment.
i. If this number falls below $362.50, then you’re entitled to keep the amount that brings you up to $362.50. So if
you have been left with less than $362.50 per week, check the box that says, “My disposable weekly earnings
do not exceed $362.50, so all my earnings are exempt.”
ii. If the number is above $362.50, but you got paid less than that number, then you might have been garnished
more than the allowable amount. If this is the case, check the box that says, “My gross weekly salary is between
$362.50 and $770, and at least 82% of my disposable earnings are exempt.”

STOP!
Read the following carefully.
Before attaching bank statements or paystubs, make sure you redact
(scratch out) any personal identifying information. What you include will be filed
with the court and become part of a public record. Remove Social Security
numbers and sensitive information!
The following page in this packet is the “Certificate of Service.” This is a
very important form because it shows the date that you serve copies of the Claim
of Exemption from Execution form on the creditor, constable/sheriff, and
garnishee (bank or employer). This date triggers how much time the creditor has to
file an objection, and how long the constable/sheriff can hold onto your property,
so the date that you serve is very important. The Certificate of Service is your
proof that you served copies on a certain date.
After you file your completed Claim of Exemption from Execution, follow
the directions below very carefully:
(1) Make 3 copies of the completed Claim of Exemption from Execution form.
(2) Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the Claim of Exemption from Execution form to the
Plaintiff or the attorney for the Plaintiff, if there is one. The address for the Plaintiff,
or Plaintiff’s attorney, should be on the Writ of Execution.
(3) Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the Claim of Exemption from Execution form to the
constable or sheriff who is executing on your case. The name and address for the
constable or sheriff should be on the Writ of Execution.
(4) Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the Claim of Exemption from Execution form to the
garnishee—the bank or employer who has garnished from you.
(5) Fill out the Certificate of Service with the date that you actually served the copies and
with the names and addresses of all the people and places you served in
Steps 2-4.
(6) File the Certificate of Service.
(7) Wait 8 days after mailing to see if the creditor files an objection.
