ORS 18.742: Crediting of payments against debt.

(1) If a garnishee makes payment to the garnishor, the payment shall be credited against the debt on the date the garnishor receives the payment.

      (2) If a garnishee makes payment to the court, the payment shall be credited against the debt on the date the court administrator disburses payment to the garnishor, unless the court otherwise orders. This subsection applies even if the garnishee makes payment to the court in error or when the court administrator holds money pending a decision on a challenge to the garnishment.
