If your lender has a judgment against you, you may be subject to garnishment. However, your question doesn't suggest you are in default. As long as you are paying your debts, you have no need to worry.
I agree with the previous that your question is very disjointed and position difficult to interpret.
Trying to explain for you: About the ONLY time your 401k would be subject to any possible garnishment/seizure is if you DO withdraw it. Otherwise, it is protected from most all actions, even loss or use in your own bankruptcy.
However, your student loans are not able to be discharged, even in bankruptcy and will be subject to all types of collection efforts, including from things like SS benefits, by the government.
