Re: Pension & Social Security Checks
whether or not a pension check can be garnished depends on the type of pension and the rules of the pension plan. If it is a government pension, the answer is most likely that it CANNOT be touched. if a non-government pension, then you have to look at the pension paperwork or contact the HR dept if the company is still in business.
