If you receive benefits from Social Security for disability, those benefits may not be subject to garnishment.  However, the funds must go in to an account that only has funds from your disability payments.  In other words, set up a new account, and have your funds direct deposited to that account. If you keep that account sacred, and no other deposits are made, you can demonstrate, if necessary, that the account should not be garnished because it is funds only for disability. However, if other checks go into the account - for example, a spouse's paycheck, the account is no longer pure and would be subject to garnishment. It is a sticky wicket, as they say, and one that often trips people up.

Under the Social Security Act, “disability” means “inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.” When the Social Security Administration reviews a case, there are a series of steps that they go through before making their determination.  They may agree with you that you can't go back to your old job, but if you can do other less strenuous work, you will be found "not disabled."
