  • Where one depositor is the designated payee of public benefits-$1,750 (CCP 704.080(b)(1))
  • Where one depositor is the designated payee of social security payments-$3,500 (CCP 704.080(b)(2))
  • Where two or more depositors are designated payee of public benefits-$2,600
    • Unless such depositors are joint payees of payments which represent a benefit to only one of the depositors, in which case the exempt amount is $1,750 (CCP 704.080(b)(3))
  • Where two or more depositors are designated payee of social security payments-$5,250
    • unless such depositors are joint payees of payments which represent a benefit to only one of the depositors, in which case the exempt amount is $3,500 (CCP 704.080(b)(4))

 

Any amount which exceeds the exemption is exempt to the extent it consists of public benefits payments. (CCP 704.050(c))
