To the best of my knowledge no garnishment from va, but again it is different in each state. What you need to do is call the child support office in your state.

Yes. There are a number of instances where the Federal Government can garnish Social Security benefits, including:

We can garnish benefits to enforce child support and /or alimony obligations -Section 459 of the Act;
The Internal Revenue Service can levy against benefits to collect unpaid Federal taxes -Section 6334(c) of the Internal Revenue Code;
The Internal Revenue Service can collect taxes due by levying up to 15 percent of your monthly benefit until the debt is paid;
The Internal Revenue Service allows beneficiaries to have a portion of their check withheld to satisfy a current year Federal income tax liability - Section 3402 (P) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
Other Federal agencies can collect money from your benefits to pay a non-tax debt you owe to that Agency - Debt Collection Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-134).Answer (http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/ssa.cfg/php/enduser/popup_adp.php?p_sid=EHDnFj2j&p_lva=127&p_li=&p_faqid=1712&p_created=1214226810&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX 3Jvd19jbnQ9NjgsNjgmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9wdj0 mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ub CZwX3BhZ2U9MSZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PWNoaWxkIHN1cHBvcnQ )*
