VA Benefits should be protected from any garnishment. These benefits should be for the veteran alone. Payments of benefits due or to become due under any law administered by the Secretary shall not be assignable except to the extent specifically authorized by law, and such payments made to, or on account of, a beneficiary shall be exempt from taxation, shall be exempt from the claim of creditors, and shall not be liable to attachment, levy, or seizure by or under any legal or equitable process whatever, either before or after receipt by the beneficiary. Additionally, these benefits should be protected from ALL, including the state and county courts. This is the former service members tears, sweat, and blood.. Having these benefits garnished WILL increase the suicidal rate among veterans, destroy second families, and risk the veteran to become homeless.. These state agencies (i.e. child support, city/county/state courts) are already bleeding veterans dry of everything they own. Not to mention, they are profitable on the monies they receive. Passing any other type of legislation would be a grave error. VA Benefits need to be protected and be solely for the Veteran.
