Garnishments and deductions should be listed on your pay stub.
No, SS, military, railroad, government and most private pensions are exempt from creditor judgments/garnishments. There are exceptions in a few states as to private pensions, but the possibility of judgment action depends upon the debtor's overall financial situation.
yes I'm afraid they are, at the standard rate

Yes. Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits are exempt. Up to $2,500 total of military, civil service, and Arizona state/local government pensions are also exempt. All out-of-state government pensions are fully taxed.
There are different kinds of retirement pay. Some, such as Illinois, exempt all retirement pay from taxes. Others exempt Social Security benefits, and/or military pensions, and/or public pensions, and/or private pensions, or nothing at all. So there is no one-size-fits-all answer to your question.

All Social Security pensions and benefits are exempt from creditor judgment by federal law. Military pensions, federal government pensions are also exempted from creditor attachment. Private pensions are regulated by the laws of the state in which the person resides, therefore they may or may not be subject to garnishment.
according to the lawyer I spoke to today, social security is exempt from garnishments. according to the Arizona attorney I spoke to today, social security income is exempt from judgments but retirement income is not.
In some cases, yes. When creditors sue the debtor and receive a judgment order from the court they can implement it as a wage garnishment against pensions that are not protected by state and/or federal law. All SS benefits/pensions are 100% exempt from creditor attachment. In most instances military and government pensions (railroad retirement, USPS, etc.) are also exempt. However, private pensions can be garnished to some extent depending upon the laws of the state in which the debtor resides.
The majority of private pensions are exempt or partially exempt from garnishment by judgment creditors not by child support orders or tax arrearage payments. All Social Security, government and military pension benefits are totally exempt from judgment creditor garnishment.
It's 25% of your gross income, minus necessary deductions from the government, or minimum wage X 30 (to simulate working a 30 hour week). But, if the garnishment is for child support, taxes, or a criminal matter, the amount increases to 50%. Also, there are federally exempt benefits, like some pensions, workmen's comp, and most federal aid, that garnishments cannot be attached to.
Generally pensions are not garnishable. Social Security, Railroad Retirement, military and governmental pensions, all types of disability benefits and public assistance benefits and other federal pensions are exempt from creditor action. Whether or not private pensions, (401K's, etc.) are subject to creditor action is determined by the excemption status allowed under state law.
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.
