Did you know....

if a creditor has gotten a court judgment against you, certain types of income are protected from garnishment (being taken by the creditor). Federal law almost always exempts social security, supplemental security income (SSI) and veteran's benefits. States with unemployment benefits and TANF (temporary assistance to needy families) usually exempt those benefits from garnishment as well.
