Can unemployment be garnished from bank account?
I live in Utah I have a creditor that has gotten a judgement I paid half and plan was to pay the remaining balance on the 30 of OCT 09. We only have income for this above source, we are receiving 399.00 per week not meeting household expense .I do not have a problem paying something however they want half of it now or going to act with the judgment. We have one dependent at home and do receive state insurance for all of us. If you can give me any advice.
I did read on the internet that I fit the exempt example
however it did not have a state listed on it. |

Hi noligun76
Unemployment benefits are exempt from garnishment. But, since bank accounts are not, if your unemployment benefits get deposited in a savings account it can be garnished. You may get in touch with your bank in order to protect this money from garnishment.

Hi noligun,
Yes Carol is right let your bank know that it is only your unemployment check that is deposited into your account. And make them aware of the judgment so they can watch for it and not let it go through. |

I thank you for the information.
Is there a form I need for the bank or just going in is enough? |

Hi Nora,
I believe you can just go in and take care of it that way. If there is a form to be filled out your bank should have it. I'm sure they are use to this kind of thing happening and keep those on hand.Hope this helped. Keep us up dated on how things went. |
