Abstract: 5 USC 5520a(k) directs the establishment of provisions for the involuntary allotment of the pay of a member of the uniformed services for indebtedness owed a third party as determined by the final judgment of a court, and as determined by military authority to be in compliance with the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940. These provisions must also consider the absence of a military member of the uniformed services from appearance in a civil proceeding if the absence results from the exigencies of military duty. The DD Form 2653, "Involuntary Allotment Application," provides the Department of Defense the reviewing authority with the data necessary to act on results form the public for assistance in the collection of debt.
