Workers' compensation benefits are not subject to attachment or garnishment, although they may be withheld under Minnesota Statutes, section 518A.53, and paid for child support or spousal maintenance if the other requirements of that statute are met. Upon request, the insurer shall file with the division a statement of the amount being withheld from the employee's benefits and paid to the county or obligee, a copy of the order for withholding of income, and verification of payments made.
