Only federal government can garnish your Social Security check, and only for limited purposes, such as payment of child support, alimony, delinquent taxes, and debt to other federal agencies.
Federal law prohibits creditors from garnishing social benefit checks, such as Social Security, unemployment, workers' compensation, SSI, VA benefits, and so on
If a creditor other than the federal government tries to garnish your Social Security benefits, inform them that such an action violates Section 207 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 407).

∙ 12y agoSS benefits are exempt from garnishment for debt with the exception of child support and in some instances tax arrearages.
This does not mean the judgment seeker will not attempt pursue garnishment procedures via a civil suit. It is the responsibility of the debtor to notify the court regarding monies and/or assets that are exempted from the judgment holder. This is done when/if the debtor receives a final notice of judgment awarded to the plaintiff through a civil suit.
