This differs from state to state. Each state has laws that give judgment debtors certain monetary allowances for food, clothing, housing, etc. These allowances are totalled and anything over that amount can be taken. You must check the laws of your state to see how much of an allowance you get for each item in order to see how much of your pay you can keep.

Can your paycheck be garnished if you have a collection account?

Certainly in the UK it can. I believe you need to give permission for it unless there is a court order give in which case there is nothing you can do about it. I think there is a maximum that they can take however. All to do with the bare minimum you need to live on.
