Any money withheld for the garnishment after you filed the bankruptcy will be returned to you. The rest is lost.

Were you able to exempt this money on Sch C of your bankruptcy petition? If not, ordinarily, the money taken by garnishment by a creditor prior to filing bankruptcy goes to the bankruptcy trustee to be split up among all your creditors.

Yes, all you have to do is contact whatever that was and they will give me the money back.
