Best Answer

Whatever the state in which the judgment was granted allows. All Social Security benefits and public assistance are exempt from creditor judgments as are the majority of pension both private and military.

Generally the personal and property exemptions that are allowed in BK are the same as those used to protect assets and property in the execution of a creditor judgment.
