It differs from state to state, it would be best to check out the website for unemployment in your state. They usually have a FAQ section.

I suspect it depends on the rate of income, and unemployment benefits in many states don't amount to a rate that the civil court would consider above the threshold to award a garnishment of that income (most likely the income will be garnished at the source organization, not a financial vehicle, unless a substantial stream of cash from no documentable source is recorded). Of course there may be poignant variation of garnishment procedure in the state where you originated the income (unemployment benefits in this case).
