No.
The answer is NO, SSI will NEVER be garnished, except to repay SSI overpayments, which can be recovered by a 10% reduction of benefits. SSI will NEVER be garnished for student loans, back taxes, etc.Regular social security payments (NOT SSI) can be garnished IF you draw MORE than $750/month. If you make LESS than $750/month, nothing can be taken from your earnings. A garnishment can take 15% or the amount OVER $750, whichever is less to repay a "non-tax" debt, such as a student loan.
SSI cannot be garnished.
The following answer was found online, "Social Security benefits can be garnished to repay Federal debts, but never below $750 per month. A garnishment can take 15%, or the amount over $750, whichever is less."
Social security is able to be garnished. This was part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. Honestly, for ethical and logical reasons, it is dumb that they can. 'Robbing Peter to pay Paul' is how one could describe it.

SSI, being a form of public assistance, cannot be garnished for child support anywhere.
No, but SSI isn't exempt from garnishment for student loans. In some instances federally funded student loans can be forgiven if the borrower becomes mentally and/or physically impaired to the point where he or she will never have sufficient ability to work and if a doctor will sign off on the disability. Edit: SSI CAN be garnished for federal student loans. This was part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. Edited wording for total and permanent disability qualifications.

You usually cannot get a loan on your SSI, though some payday loan companies may allow it. You can use it as your income source for the purpose of getting a loan.
Virtually any income can be garnished as long as it isn't means tested, such as SSI or public assistance.
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.
No. SSI beneficiaries are exempt from paying child support (except for past-due support). Child support cannot be garnished from SSI payments.
