GUIDE TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT AUGUST, 1999 Director of State Courts Office of Court Operations110 E. Main St., Rm. 410 Madison, WI 53703 B. Garnishment Of Accounts By law, the first $l,000 on deposit in any one or more accounts is exempt from garnishment. 15 Furthermore, any money in an account which is derived from government benefits such as social security, supplemental security income (SSI), veterans benefits, unemployment compensation, or relief funded under public assistance, is also exempt from garnishment. The garnishment of an account attaches only money on deposit at the time the garnishee receives the garnishment papers. Any money the debtor deposits later will not be attached. So, garnishment will not result in any payments to the creditor unless the papers are served on the financial institution at a time when the debtor has more than $l,000 in non-exempt funds on deposit.
