Yes.

Addendum:

You have a legal obligation to pay your debts; however, under Federal law (Title 26 USC § 6331 and Title 26 USC § 6305), Social Security disability income can only be levied by the US Secretary of the Treasury to satisfy delinquent Federal taxes or (under certain circumstances) child support or alimony payments.

Social Security Rule 79-4 exempts Social Security disability income from "levy, attachment, garnishment and other legal process," except as specified. This does not prevent creditors from attaching income or certain assets from other sources, however.

"Generally, Social Security benefits are exempt from execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or from the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law. The exceptions are that benefits are subject: (1) to the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to make levies for the collection of delinquent Federal taxes and under certain circumstances delinquent child support payments; and (2) to garnishment or similar legal process brought by an individual to enforce a child support or alimony obligation."

Section 207 of the Social Security Act provides:

"The right of any person to any future payment under this title shall not be transferable or assignable, at law or in equity, and none of the moneys paid or payable or rights existing under this title shall be subject to execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law."
