If Social Security benefits are paid into this account, please ensure that the saved amount, as stated in the Social Security Act, is protected from this Enforcement Warrant for Regular Redirection.

The creditor or the debtor can apply to the court for the warrant to be set aside, suspended or varied. This application can be made by using a Form 9 - Application (UCPR) supported by a Form 46 – Affidavit (UCPR) .
