NO, your SS benefits would be exempt under federal law. However, avoid co-mingleing funds in the same account as your SSD benefits.

How can I Qualify for Social Security Disability?

Social security disability insurance is never a source of income that individuals want to have. However, many individuals end up with a physical or mental illness that allows them to qualify for social security disability. There are several criteria that individuals must meet before they can be approved for disability payments. First, individuals must earn credit. Workers earn credits towards social security disability based upon their income. Each year a fixed rate of dollars earned to credits is set by the Social Security Administration. For example, one year a credit may be earned for every $1,000 in income. Another year may have an individual earning one credit for every $1,500 in income. Individuals must pay social security taxes on the income in order to earn credit towards social security disability. Second, individuals must have a qualified disability. A patient cannot simply decide to enroll in social security disability because they need money. They must have a qualified disability that meets specific criteria. Individuals must be unable to return to their previous type of work, unable to change to a new job due to their medical condition and have a disability that will last at least one year or result in death. Many individuals who attempt to claim social security disability have their first claim rejected. The Social Security Administration does not want to pay out claims for individuals who are not disabled. They take extreme security measures to ensure that individuals with a bona fide disability receive the payments that they deserve. There are some conditions which are automatically approved for disability. Other conditions may require a medical examination and review before individuals will have their claim approved. Anyone filing a social security disability claim should be aware that it can take months or years in order to receive disability payments. Social security disability provides payment for the necessary items that individuals need to live their day to day lives. There are a number of diseases and medical conditions that automatically qualify an individual for social security disability. However, individuals who do not have one of these conditions but believe they are disabled may still qualify. They simply need to contact their nearest Social Security Administration for assistance filing a claim.

Can a federal credit union garnish disability?

Banks do not place liens or garnish your paychecks (your employer would have to do that). However, if a garnishment is received by your credit union, they have to freeze any liquid funds in your account at the time the garnishment is received and send the funds to the court (by law). This is regardless of the source of the funds.
