This type of garnishment is subject to certain limitations. First, a court petition must be filed for the apportionment. Then only a portion typically between 20% and 50% of the monthly pay may be garnished.
It is also important to know that compensation is based not on the actual earnings of a veteran instead, it is based on the percentage. This means that the greater the disability rating of a veteran, the more they will receive in compensation. The children and spouses of a disabled veteran who passed away of a service-related illness injuries are eligible for a particular benefit known as Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC).
There are many misconceptions about the impact that the benefits of retirement for veterans, disability pay and other compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs have on money issues in divorce. These misconceptions can cause a difficult divorce even more difficult for veterans and their family members.
Pensions
Veterans Disability Pension is a tax free monetary benefit that is granted to veterans with disabilities incurred or aggravated during military service. It is also available to the surviving spouses and dependent children. Congress determines the pension amount that is based on disability level, degree of disability and dependents.

SSI
If a veteran is not earning income from work and is suffering from a permanent disability they could be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is a needs-based program. One must have a low income and assets to be eligible for SSI. Certain people could also be eligible to receive an VA monthly pension. The amount is determined based on the duration of service, the wartime period and disability rating.
Most veterans disability lawsuits are not eligible for both a Pension and Compensation benefit at the same time. If a person receives an income from disability and pension benefits from the VA however, it won't pay a Supplemental Security income benefit.
The VA has to report to the Social Security Administration your monthly military retirement, CRDP, or CRSC. This usually results in an increase in your SSI benefit. SSA may also benefit from the VA waiver of benefits in order to calculate your SSI income.

He also has the option of keeping up to $1,500 in cash or the face value of a life insurance policy.
In the event of divorce the judge could decide to include the veteran's VA Disability payments as income when calculating child support and maintenance after the divorce. This is due to numerous court rulings that have confirmed the rights of family courts to consider these payments as income in support calculations. These include decisions from Florida (Allen v. Allen), Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), and Wisconsin (In Re the marriage of Wojcik).
The amount of the VA disability compensation is contingent upon the degree of the service-connected condition. It is calculated based on a formula that assesses the severity of the condition. It can range between 10 percent and 100 percent. Higher ratings will bring more money.
