yes, you can
Yes. Whenever a person wants to open a bank account, his social security number has to be submitted to the bank. So, by using the SSN, police and federal officers can track the bank account records of a person.
If it is a joint account yes. If that persons Social Security number is tied to that account it can be taken. If they are taking it for a lien or garnishment the best solution is to close the account and open it in one name only. The name of the person not being garnished.
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
yes
Probably. It depends on the bank, but any bank worth having an account at will cash government or payroll checks as a courtesy for account holders regardless of the account balance.
No, you cannot use a social security card to withdraw money. A social security card may be useful if you want to open a bank account, though, and you can withdraw money from that.
Only if you want to change the account into which the funds go. Otherwise, there is no law that says you can only have one account at a time ever.
Generally, no. Social security funds are usually exempt from garnishment to satisfy judgment. There are so exceptions, though.
To open an account at Bank of America, you will need the following for each applicant;1. Social Security number2. Home Address3. Current E-mail address4. Debit card or bank account number to transfer money from an existing account at another bank or financial institution.

Actually None. A Social Security Number is a mandatory requirement if you want to open a checking account in the United States. However, if you are a new resident of the country (say a foreign worker) the bank will allow you to open the account with the SSN but you have to apply for your SSN and update your bank records within the first month of opening of the account. If you fail to do so, the bank can freeze or even close your account.
