Can a judgment in court be held against you if you receive Social Security disability?

All SS benefits are exempt from judgment creditors under federal law. They cannot be garnished nor can a bank account holding such funds be levied by a judgment order. A judgment creditor who knowingly attempts to seize exempted funds by means of a judgment order can be sued by the judgment debtor. Likewise any bank or financial institution that knowingly releases such protected funds can also be sued for damages incurred by the beneficiary and/or his or her family.

- Unpaid child support
- Unpaid alimony
- Delinquent federal taxes
- Debit owed to other federal departments
Regular creditors may not garnish your Social Security benefits, but they have been known to freeze and levy recipients' bank accounts after the check has been deposited, or direct deposit made. If this happens, you will need to go to court to stop them.
One good way to protect your benefits is to open a bank account used solely for Social Security benefits, and use a separate account for any other forms of income you may have.
The judgment will remain on your credit report, regardless of your source of income, for seven to ten years.
