SECTION III - NOTICE TO MEMBER BY COMMANDER OR AUTHORIZED DESIGNEE

7. NOTICE

You are hereby notified that an application for the establishment of an involuntary allotment for the lesser of 25% of your

pay subject to involuntary allotment or the maximum percentage of pay subject to garnishment proceedings under the

applicable state law has been received. Along with this notice, I am providing you a copy of the entire application package.

Additionally, you are notified that:

a. You must respond within 15 calendar days from the date of this notification by either consenting to the involuntary

allotment or contesting it. For good cause shown, I may grant an extension of reasonable time (normally not exceeding 30

calendar days, except during times of deployment, war, national emergency, or other similar situations) to submit a response.

Additionally, if you fail to respond within the specified date (or any approved extended date), your failure to respond will be

indicated in Section V of this form, which will then be sent back to the designated Defense Finance and Accounting Service

(DFAS) (or Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center) official for appropriate action.

b. You may contest this application for any of the reasons described in Section IV of this form.

c. If you contest the application, you must provide evidence (documentary or otherwise) supporting your reasons for

contesting the application. Any evidence you submit may be disclosed to the applicant for this involuntary allotment.

d. You may, if reasonably available, consult with a legal assistance attorney, or a civilian attorney at no expense to the

government. If a legal assistance attorney is available, you should immediately arrange for an appointment. If a legal

assistance attorney is not available, you may request a reasonable delay to enable you to obtain legal assistance. If you have

failed to exercise due diligence in seeking assistance, I will deny a request for delay.

e. If you contest the involuntary allotment on the grounds that exigencies of military duty caused your absence from an

appearance at the judicial proceeding at which the judgment was rendered, then I will review and make the final determination

on this contention. My decision will be reflected in Section V of this form which will be forwarded to the designated DFAS (or

Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center) official for appropriate action. I will consider the following when making this

determination:

(1) That exigencies of military duty are defined as "a military assignment or mission essential duty that, because of its

urgency, importance, duration, location, or isolation, necessitates the absence of a member of the military services from

appearance at a judicial proceeding. Absence from an appearance in a judicial proceeding is normally presumed to be caused

by exigencies of military duty during periods of war, national emergency, or when the member is deployed."

(2) Whether the military duties in question were of such paramount importance that they prevented making you

available to attend the judicial proceedings, or rendered you unable to timely respond to process, motions, pleadings, or orders

of the court.

f. If you contest the involuntary allotment on any basis other than exigencies of military duty, you must return this form

and your response to me. This form, the application package, and your response will then be returned to the designated DFAS

(or Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center) official who will consider your response and determine whether to establish the

involuntary allotment. The designated DFAS (or Coast Guard Pay and Personnel Center) official has decision authority on all

issues other than exigencies of military duty.
