N.D. Cent. Code § 54-52.2-06
The deferred compensation program established by this chapter shall exist and serve in addition to retirement, pension, or benefit systems established by the state, county, city, town, or other political subdivision, and no deferral of income under the deferred compensation program shall effect a reduction of any retirement, pension, or other benefit provided by law. However, any sum deferred under the deferred compensation program is not subject to taxation until distribution is actually made to the employee. Any unpaid benefits under the deferred compensation program established by this chapter are not subject to execution, garnishment, attachment, the operation of bankruptcy or insolvency laws, or other process of law whatsoever, except as provided by section 54-52.2-03.3. Neither the employee, the employee's beneficiary, nor any designee of the employee or the employee's beneficiary has the right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey the right to receive payments under this chapter.
