Can my social security and VA benefits be garnished on backed taxes in the state of Missouri?

Generally not, except for Federal debts (Federal taxes) and child support or alimony. Generally, Social Security benefits are exempt from execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or from the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law. The exceptions are that benefits are subject: (1) to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to make levies for the collection of delinquent Federal taxes and under certain circumstances delinquent child support payments; and (2) to garnishment or similar legal process brought by an individual to enforce a child support or alimony obligation. Section 207 of the Social Security Act provides: "The right of any person to any future payment under this title shall not be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none of the moneys paid or payable or rights existing under this title shall be subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law." However, section 6331 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C. 6331) which was enacted into law on August 16, 1954, after the enactment of section 207, gives the Secretary of the Treasury the right to levy or seize for collection of delinquent Federal taxes, property, rights to property, whether real or personal, tangible, or intangible and the right to make successive levies and seizures until the amount due, together with all expenses, is fully paid.

Can a credit card lender garnish your monthly income from life insurance benefits?

Perhaps. State's enact laws that protect the consumer debtor's real and personal property. The concerned party should research the laws of his or her state relating to the garnishment of insurance and private retirement benefits for debts owed. Please note, all Social Security benefits are exempt from garnishment for creditor debt, also military benefits, government pension annuities and federal or state public assistance monies. The concerned party should also keep in mind that even if such funds are exempt from creditor attachment it is still possible for a creditor to execute a judgment against a bank account where exempt benefits and non exempt monies are comingled. It is always preferable to hold protected monies in totally separate accounts.
