If the question refers to a civil judgment for debt the answer would be no. All Social Security benefits are exempt from garnishment by creditors. If the question relates to child support obligations all SS benefits are subject to garnishment. In matters of personal injury awards depending upon the circumstances of the case SS benefits may subject to garnishment.

It was never yours to give to the landlord. IF the landlord settled with the LENDER to get title, then YOU are out of the picture completely. EXCEPT for the garnishment of course.

If you signed a lease and did not pay a security deposit is it valid?
Signing the lease and paying the security deposit are two separate issues. Furthermore, if you don't pay the security deposit then you could be in violation of the lease terms and be evicted if the landlord chooses. Normally you pay the security deposit before you and your landlord sign the lease, or work out a payment plan that you and your landlord agree to. If your landlord agreed to allow you to skip the security deposit then that part of the lease is waived and the rest of the lease stands.
