It is usually some form of Social Security benefit (retirement, disability, survivor or supplemental), veterans benefits, workers compensation, or pensions, and all of these forms of income are PROTECTED FROM GARNISHMENT by federal law. In other words, private creditors cannot successfully sue you and get your bank to give them any of that money.LASPD lets your creditors know that you now have legal representation regarding your rights under federal law, that you ARE judgment/collection-proof, and that if they still want to communicate, they should contact LASPD.
