This was first decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1890, and about 5 times since, but the states keep ignoring it, because they get federal money for all funds garnished. The Howell decision 2017, just reiterated to the states what they've been telling for over a 100 years.

The Supreme Court has been ruling this for over 100 years, and the states keep ignoring them.

I have seen courts essentially assign support payments from disability which is supposed to be off limits, by awarding greater than 50% of taxable earnings...

You are correct. Anything under Title 38 or Chapter 61 does not meet the definition of income under USC codes and is not subject to calculations for child support and/or alimony support payments.
