workers comp or unemployment are exempt basically from any
garnishment, until you resume a regular income; they may file
paperwork to take your state income tax refund. They cannot
touch your federal return. If this happens you will receieve
a document in the mail from your state telling you they will
hold keep your refund to pay some or all of the debit; again
this will only happen if the company requesting the money
files the proper paperwork.
