Can Social Security benefits be garnished by creditors to pay a debt?

Answer
Section 207 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 407) protects Social Security benefits from assignment, levy, or garnishment. However, the law provides five exceptions:

Section 459 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 659) allows Social Security benefits to be garnished to enforce child support and/or alimony obligations;
Section 6334 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 6334 (c)) allows benefits to be garnished to collect unpaid Federal taxes;
Section 3402 (P) of the Internal Revenue Code allows beneficiaries to elect to have a percentage of their benefits withheld and paid to the Internal Revenue Service to satisfy their Federal income tax liability for the current year;
The Debt Collection Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-134) allows benefits to be withheld and paid to another Federal agency to pay a non-tax debt the beneficiary owes to that agency: and
The Tax Payer Relief Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-34) authorizes the Internal Revenue Service to collect overdue federal tax debts of beneficiaries by levying up to 15 percent of each monthly payment until the debt is paid.
The Social Security Administration's responsibility for protecting benefits against legal process and assignment usually ends when the beneficiary is paid. However, once paid, benefits continue to be protected under section 207 of the Act only as long as they are identifiable as Social Security benefits. This applies to money in a bank account where the only payments into the account are from direct deposit of Social Security benefits.

NOTE: Supplemental Security Income payments cannot be levied or garnished.

I doubt it, but ask the experts at http://www.ssa.gov

Depends. If your kids are getting child support then no. It depends on your disability, if you are not able to work then your children will get SSI until they are 18 OR when they finish high school but the child has to live with the mother in order to receive those benefits. If you have some disability and able to work, you may qualify for some ssi but you might only get certain amount. As you say, your husbands kids live with him, then the answer is no. Your husband would have to probably file for child support but since she is getting government money and you two are married and is able to provide for the kids then they will tell you no so either way you are out of luck.

Social Security income is not taxable, so I doubt it would be subject to any other order either. Social Security income is for the person collecting it. Why are you expecting the mother of your husband's children to pay child support anyway? Was she ordered to? If she was ordered to pay for child support, you will need to collect that in other ways through proper legal channels. If she wasn't ordered to pay child support, she owes nothing to you or her children except for what she gives to them when they are with her.

Why would you want to do that if your husband is supporting them? She gets SSI because her Social Security check is so small she can't live as it is so the state gives her a supplemental check to survive. She probably doesn't make any more than 650.00 a month to live on and I personally don't know anyone who can live on that unless they have housing and even then it is hard to survive with this type of income. I understand where you are coming from but at the same time her life is hard enough without you trying to take more money from her. I also understand there are children to be supported but as long as the father is able to do it then he should be supporting them under these circumstances.

They can collect Thur her but if she is disable her check should be about 500.00 and that's for home expenses they don't get a lot her kids might be able to collect anything from 30.00 to 60.00 a month if they qualify.

YA NEVER KNOW!
