If you owe child support or certain obligations through the Family Court, then yes—your weekly workers’ compensation benefit could be subject to a Family Court, child support, or alimony lien. Typically, that’s the only type of lien, attachment, or garnishment you might be subject to. Otherwise, workers’ compensation benefits are not taxable and are not subject to other deductions. If you’re unsure how these rules apply to your case, our Rhode Island workers comp attorney team can explain your rights and review any potential liens. You can also visit our RI workers’ comp benefits for more guidance on how benefits are handled.
