Kilpatrick Accepts $823,649 Restitution as Court Approves Pension Garnishment

The judge approved a sealed plan that authorizes pension garnishment with repayment terms kept confidential.

Overview

  • Both sides stipulated that the remaining restitution as of Jan. 27, 2026, is $823,649.09, replacing Kilpatrick’s claim that far less was owed.
  • A final order of continuing garnishment was directed to the Michigan Legislative Retirement System to collect from his pension and other income.
  • Kilpatrick waived his right to a garnishment hearing under the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act.
  • The court denied his pending motions as moot after entering sealed, stipulated orders that include a court-approved payment plan.
  • An earlier amended judgment set restitution at about $1.7 million, and a defense attorney said the lower balance may reflect joint-and-several credits from co-defendants’ payments.
