Under Federal Law, there is a limit on whether garnishment applies. In the case of unemployment benefits, unless it is for child or spousal support, the benefits from unemployment or disability cannot be garnished.

Can a creditor freeze bank accounts in New Jersey?

A judgment creditor can levy a bank account(s) held by the judgment debtor. An account can be frozen by the court when it appears that funds might be removed and/or transferred to avoid the judgment levy or to allow the judgment debtor to claim exempted funds in the account(S) or when the account is jointly held by a person who is not a judgment debtor. A joint account holder who is not a judgment debtor is required to present documents proving to the court the amount of funds that belong to them and which are not subject to a judgment levy. In some instances when an account is held jointly by a married couple and only one spouse is the named debtor the entire account will be exempted from a judgment creditor levy.


Can NY courts levy on a NJ bank account?

Yes, New York courts can potentially levy on a New Jersey bank account, but it involves a legal process. Typically, the creditor would need to obtain a judgment in New York and then seek to enforce that judgment in New Jersey, which may involve filing in a New Jersey court. New Jersey law will govern the enforcement process, and the creditor may need to follow specific procedures to levy the account. Additionally, certain exemptions may apply depending on the nature of the funds in the account.
