See G.L. c. 224, § 16. ) 1. INCOME FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES is exempt by law from payment orders:  Unemployment Benefits (G.L. c. 151A, § 36)  Workers Compensation Benefits (G.L. c. 152, § 47)  Social Security Benefits (42 U.S.C. § 401)  Federal Old-Age, Survivors & Disability Insurance Benefits (42 U.S.C. § 407)  Supplementary Security Income (SSI) for Aged, Blind & Disabled (42 U.S.C. § 1383[d][1])  Other Disability Insurance Benefits up to $400 weekly (G.L. c. 175, § 110A)  Emergency Aid for Elderly & Disabled (G.L. c. 117A)  Veterans Benefits  Federal Veterans Benefits (38 U.S.C. § 5301[a])  Special Benefits for Certain WW II Veterans (42 U.S.C. § 1001)  Medal of Honor Veterans Benefits (38 U.S.C. § 1562)  State Veterans Benefits (G.L. c. 115, § 5)  Transitional Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) Benefits (G.L. c. 118, § 10)  Maternal Child Health Services Block Grant Benefits (42 U.S.C. § 701)  Other public assistance benefits (G.L. c. 235, § 34, cl. fifteenth)  Payouts from certain Massachusetts employee pension plans (G.L. c. 32, § 19) 2. Certain PERSONAL AND REAL PROPERTY is also exempt from payment orders, including:  $2,500 in cash or savings or other deposits in a banking or investment institution (G.L. c. 235, § 34, cl. fifteenth)  Automobile or vehicle up to exemption limit (G.L. c. 235, § 34, cl. sixteenth)  Other specific types of personal property are exempt under other clauses of G.L. c. 235, § 34  Real estate subject to automatic or declared homestead exemption (G.L. c. 188) and, in lieu thereof, the amount of money necessary for rent, up to $2,500 per month (G.L. c. 235, § 34, cl. fourteenth)  There are also exemptions for “aggregate” amounts, up to maximum limits, of certain unused exemptions (G.L. c. 235, § 34, cl. seventeenth) 3. In addition, A PORTION OF WAGES AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO EMPLOYMENT- BASED RETIREMENT PLANS is exempt by law from payment orders. Massachusetts law exempts the greater of 85% of the debtor’s gross earnings or 50 times the greater of the Federal minimum wage ($7.25 as of 7/24/09) or the Massachusetts minimum wage ($10/hr. until 12/31/16 per G.L. c. 151, § 1; and $11/hr. as of 1/1/17) for each week or portion thereof. (G.L. c. 224, § 16 & c. 235, § 34, cl. fifteenth). The amount exempt under federal law (15 U.S.C. § §1671-1677) may exceed the Massachusetts exemption. If so, the federal exemption applies.
