Social Security funds are protected against a lien on your checking account. However you will have to prove that the funds in your account are from Social Security. If there are other funds "commingled" then unprotected funds may be seized
No, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cannot take a percentage of Social Security funds. Social Security benefits and VA benefits are separate and administered by different government agencies. VA benefits are based on military service and disabilities, while Social Security benefits are provided to individuals who have paid into the Social Security system through employment.

There is no evidence to suggest that Republicans intend to use funds from Social Security to fund the tax cut. Social Security operates on its own funding system through payroll taxes and has a separate trust fund specifically designated for it. Any changes to Social Security funding would require separate legislation.
No. They are separate funds.
Nursing Home resident has accumulated a large sum of money in her account, from which social security benefits were received. Resident has since died, the family was told that the funds will be returned to Social Security. Why? Should these funds not be transferred to the individuals Estate?
The Social Security Trust Fund was established in 1939 to receive monies collected for Social Security through payroll taxes. The monies in this fund are managed by the Department of the Treasury; they are not, nor have they ever been, put into the "general operating fund."However, the Social Security Act specifies that the monies in the fund may "be invested in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal government," such as treasury bills, treasury notes, and treasury bonds, as well as special issue bonds. So, essentially, the government can "invest" Social Security funds by lending them to itself, then spending that money on programs not related to Social Security (e.g., defense, foreign aid, education). This has always been the case.During the Johnson administration, Social Security and other Federal programs that operate through trust funds were counted officially in the budget. This did not mean that it was actually part of the general fund, rather that it was finally recorded as part of the budget.
