No. Social security and social security disability CAN NOT be garnished by a collection agency, BUT the Federal government can garnish it for child support, back taxes, unpaid student loans or any other money for which it is owed.
SSI on the other hand CAN NOT be garnished by anyone, not even the Federal government since it is awarded by need.
Hope this helps,

A collection agency can collect from someone on social security or disability. If you incurred a debt, you can be prosecuted.

No. All SS benefits are exempt from judgment creditors.

Absolutely not!!!! A collection agency has no kind of authority to touch anyone's social security disability benefits. Or anything else. Scare tactics, empty threats are all a debt collection can do. If u dont want to pay a bill, thats the consumer's choice, not those fools!!
The Social Security Act is known as SSA; those are also the initials for the agency that administers it, the Social Security Administration.
