HRS §351-66
Crime victim compensation cannot be taken before you get it
This section protects money you are owed as crime victim compensation. Before you actually receive the payment, no one can take it through legal actions like garnishment or attachment, even for child support or alimony. Once you receive it, this protection no longer applies.
