No. Disability benefits are exempt from garnishment by a creditor.

Note: Even though such benefits are immune to creditor attachment if the beneficiary comingles their funds in a bank account the judgment creditor can levy said account. If that is done, the account holder(s) must provide documentation to the court as to the amount of funds that are exempt. For that reason, it is best to keep all exempted funds in designated separate accounts.

I am answering this question for the United States. If you have debts, becoming disabled will not eliminate them. Also, it is no longer as easy to eliminate credit card debt by filing bankruptcy, which large medical bills from becoming disabled might lead to. If you became disabled because of an outside source (on the job, in an auto collision, etc.), and you accumulated debt for related treatment, you might receive a settlement to cover the expenses associated with it.

No, but that does not mean the judgment creditor will not attempt to do so. It is the responsibility of the debtor to provide documentation to the court relating to exempt funds in a bank account. If account monies are comingled (mixed with other non exempt monies) the procedure can become rather complicated and the court might encumber the account(s) until the issue is resolved.

Always keep exempt monies separate from funds that can be levied.
