The "closed" status of the garnishment that you have written about presumably with respect to a judgment against you means that either the garnishment that was attempted to be done on your assets has been concluded and either was successful or not successful. In simple terms, the one garnishment that was attempted or done is now completed.
However, if you still owe money on the judgment, another levy or wage garnishment can be implemented against you.
