The special procedures for a claim of exemption set forth in Direct Deposit Public Benefits and Social Security Accounts do not require the filing of a claim of exemption, but mandate the memorandum of garnishee be operative as a claim of exemption. (CCP 704.080)
In such case, even though the garnishee is required to file the answer with the levying officer within 10 business days after the levy, the levying officer should treat the answer as timely for the purpose of complying with the claim of exemption procedures regardless of when received.
