Re: garnishment

SSI is suppose to be exempt from garnishment, but if your bank negligently permitted these SSI funds to be turned over to the creditor, the bank as well as the creditor may be liable. You should contact your bank immediately to see whether they can expedite the return of these funds which were improperly subjected to a creditor's garnishment.
