The state Civil Procedural Rules Committee has proposed rules to prevent the improper attachment of various exempt monies -- including Social Security, veterans' benefits, etc. -- when the monies have been "deposited electronically on a recurring basis and are identified as being funds that are exempt from execution,levy or attachment under Pennsylvania or federal law."

The recommended rules resulted from a proposal (attached) submitted in February by an ad hoc group of legal aid advocates throughout the state.
Comments on the proposed rules are due by August 31, 2006.
