No, but they sometimes do. If you are being garnished, the amount that you are receiving in your paycheck is the amount that is exempt from levy. They cannot turn around and then levy that money again once you put it in the bank (that's double-dipping). Call the IRS and explain to them what's going on and they'll probably release one or the other. Better yet, call them up and set up alternative arrangments and they will release both. Of course, if you had a bank account with money in it other than your wages (a savings account, for example) they can hit both of those at once. You are going to have to prove that they levied the exempt money.

Can garnishments still be taken out while on unemployment?

The IRS can not garnish your unemployment. They usually garnish bank accounts and wages. You can get into a resolution with the IRS and not have to worry about a garnishment at all. In fact, if your are getting unemployment, let them know and they can list your debt to them as unrecoverable at this time. Once you are working again, you need to call the IRS and they will set up a payment plan for you to get caught up.
