WSIB and garnishing

Posted on Wednesday, May 23, 2007

Question: Can the WSIB wages be garnisheed?

Answer: It is very difficult to garnishee WSIB (Worker's Compensation) payments, since they come from the government. However, there is no law that specifically prevents it, so in theory if a creditor got a court order, they would be able to garnishee WSIB payments. However, it would be very unusual for WSIB payments to be garnisheed.
