I'm sure the law must be the same for ss in every state. No !!! your social security can not be garnished by anyone but the United States Government. Period. The creditor can get a judgment and put a hold on your acct in an attempt to garnish it. Stay calm and work with your bank. I had mine settled in a day. There is a form for you to check off informing the court that you truly do only have Social Security Deposits in the bank and no other income. If your bank is as good as mine they will walk you right through it. I am in the state of Oklahoma
