Yes. Virginia use federal income garnishment laws. The maximum percentage of disposable income that can be garnished for creditor debt is 25%, with 30x minimum wage ($154.50 weekly based) being exempt from garnishment. All Social Security, government pensions, public assistance and most private pension benefits are exempt from creditor garnishment or levy.
