The maximum amount that may be held from a person's weekly wages, after withholdings required by law, is the lesser of: 1. 25% of the wages, 2. 10%, if the person is head of a family and a Missouri resident, or 3. The amount by which the weekly earnings exceed thirty times the federal minimum hourly wage. Mo. Rev. Stat. §525.030. Note: Child support garnishment may be subject to a higher percentage of deduction.

If you receive Disability Income from a Long Term Disability Insurance Policy can creditors garnish the monthly income from this policy?

The answer to your question is yes. If creditors can garnish your wages if you were working, then they can garnish the income you receive from your disability provider as well. The same procedures they would have to go through to garnish your wages from your employer, they would go through the disability company (filing court documents). Unfortunately, creditors consider any income you receive, working or not, as income.
