Section 36. Benefits which are or may become due under this chapter shall not be assigned, pledged, encumbered, released, commuted or trusteed before payment; and when paid shall, as long as they are not mingled with other funds of the beneficiary, be exempt from all claims of creditors, and from levy, execution and attachment or other remedy now or hereafter provided for the recovery or collection of debt, which exemption may not be waived.
