We have posted a new policy regarding Wage Attachments on our web site. I would like to emphasize that any legal documents regarding wage attachments that the Agency receives should be forwarded to State Accounting as soon as it is received. I would recommend making a copy of all documents for your Agency files.

The documents should be forwarded by inter-office mail to:

State Accounting

State Capitol - Room 1309

Attn: Dixie Welter or Susanne Lovercheck

Or by mail to:

State of Nebraska - Department of Administrative Services

State Accounting Division

P.O.Box 94664

Lincoln, NE 68509-4664

Questions or inquires can be directed to Susanne by phone at: 402-471-0614 or e-mail: sloverch@notes.state.ne.us

or Dixie Welter by phone at: 402-471-0613 or e-mail: dwelter@notes.state.ne.us

Attached is a copy of the new policy.
