The means test excludes money from Social Security or veteran's benefits. Additionally, federal law generally exempts veteran's benefits from seizure, both before and after receipt by the beneficiary. However, if the benefits are spent on a permanent investment, they are no longer exempt as "veteran's benefits." And, once benefits are paid to the veteran, they may be reached by court order to satisfy the veteran's child support obligations.
