Answer 1

Some of your money may be considered discretionary income -- it depends on how much you get, and what your fixed and medical expenses are.

If some of the funds are considered discretionary income -- meaning they are more than you need for your fixed and medical expenses -- then the court may order them attached. Unlikely, but possible.
