Maybe, without knowing the state of residency it is not possible to give a more definitive answer. Each state establishes it's own banking regulatory laws. Some states do not allow the levy of joint accounts, others allow savings and loans and credit union accounts to be levied but not banks, and so on. You would need to consult the laws of the state in which you live to find out what applies in your circumstances. A simpler way would be to contact the credit union and ask them how an account levy would affect joint account holders.
