If you're asking whether you can levy or garnish someone else's Social Security Survivor benefits to satisfy a civil judgment, the answer is no. Only the Treasury Department can garnish Social Security benefits, and only for limited reasons, like back alimony, child support, unpaid taxes, or debt owed to other federal departments. Regular creditors are prohibited by law from attaching these funds.
