Generally speaking, nothing is "deducted" from unemployment benefits, except that you're allowed (but not required) to have a deduction which is applied to your federal income tax.Unemployment benefits are subject to federal income tax, though not to FICA taxes; some but not all states exempt them from state income tax, and those states may allow a deduction to be applied to state income tax, I don't really know.Unemployment benefits are generally safe from garnishment except where the garnishment is being made for child support or a debt to the state itself (e.g. back taxes).
