Best Answer

No.

SSI and other Social Security or public assistance benefits can only be garnished if the matter relates to child support or tax arrearages.

There has, however, been an issue with governmental agencies accessing people's bank accounts. This has been a problem for those with automatic deposit of their SSI checks.
