Best Answer

All social security benefits are exempt from attachment by a judgment creditor, generally federal and state pensions are also exempt. Whether or not private pensions are exempt from judgment execution is determined by the laws of the state where the debtor resides. FYI, Social Security and other exempted funds should not, for reasons of clarification be commingled with other income.
