You cannot be garnished if you do not work, but it does not change the fact that you owe 'someone' money. If you owe the IRS money and simply ignore them you can most certainly go to jail. If you owe an individual or business money I doubt they would waste the money on a lawyer to get money you do not have. Once you got a job again you could begin getting garnished, and if you receive any sort of financial support from the gov't, ex. Welfare, Social security, I'm sure that would be affected.
