More details to this question:
I was served a garnishment summons dated 6/21/2013 and it tells me that I have a hearing date on 10/04/13. I am confused by the wording of the summons, and I am not sure if it is telling me that my wages will be garnished immediately or i have until the hearing to come up with the money,and only afterward my wages will be garnished to settle the debt.

Your wages will be garnished until the date of the hearing. However, as part of the packet you were served with, you should have received a form that says "Request for Hearing - Garnishment/Lien Exemption Claim." If any of those exemptions apply to you, you can request a hearing on the exemptions. The exact procedure for that varies by court.
