Thanks to all for your feedback and unanimous decision:  Trustee gets it, then back to the debtor.

Here is my question of the day.  Creditor has a wage garnishment properly served on an employer.  Pay period ends on Oct 2, with the garnishment in place.  Debtor files Ch. 7 bkcy on Oct 6.  Employer issues check to Sheriff on Oct 9 for the portion of the paycheck (less than $400) to be seized under the garnishment.  Trustee demands the money, if you can imagine such a thing.  Who is entitled to the money, trustee or creditor of the debtor?
