In general, your wages can be garnished for defaulted student loans without a judgement. Workmans compensation is exempt from garnishment. Just be sure that you notify the creditor that money in your bank account is exempt, and make sure there is no other money being placed into your account other then Workmans comp income. Otherwise your account will be considered "co-mingled" and they can take money from it.Note that student loans are now generally not dischargeable through bankruptcy.However,It is fairly difficult to satisfy the requirements for an undue hardship petition, which generally requires demonstrating that you made a good faith effort to repay the debt, that you will not be able to maintain a minimal standard of living and still repay the debt (usually using the lowest monthly payment under any of the repayment plans, typically income-contiengent or income-based repayment), and that the conditions that prevent you from repaying the debt will likely persist for most of the full term of the loan.
