No.
All SS benefits and public assistance benefits are exempt from creditor action. If the benefits are commingled in a bank account with non exempt funds, it is possible for a judgment creditor to request the court freeze the account until the amount of exempt funds is proved.

Ohio follows federal garnishment guidelines which allow a maximum of 25% of the garnishee's disposable income to be seized, with the first $154.50 weekly based income being exempted. Child support, alimony, disability benefits, public assistance, and all Social Security benefits are 100% exempt from garnishment by a judgment creditor. The judgment creditor must serve (or make a reasonable attempt to deliver) a 15 day notice to the named garnishee before the action can commence. Other personal and real property that can be exempted from judgment creditor attachment are outlined in Ohio BK exemption statutes. Please note, it is the responsibility of the judgment debtor to claim the allowed exemptions.

Do they have to leave you enough money to pay your bills when your wages are garnished?
Unfortunately a garnishment order does not consider the financial situation of the garnishee when executed. The state laws in which the garnishee resides determines the percentage of monies to be attached. Federal law protects the first $154.50 (weekly/40hr. based) of the garnishee's wages. Amounts above the aforementioned are subject to garnishment as allowed under the laws of the state where the garnishee works and/or resides.
