Social Security has been called a federal benefit payment since it was created in the 1930s. The term "federal benefits" applies to a large number of programs, including Social Security, Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and others.

Can Social Security benefits be transferred?

No. Social Security benefits are non-transferable, so they can't be garnished, attached or levied by most creditors. Only the federal government can garnish Social Security checks, and only for limited purposes, like payment of back taxes, alimony, and child support, debt to other federal agencies, and some victim compensation awards. Generally, they withhold only a portion of the benefit to help satisfy these obligations (e.g., maximum of 15% for past due taxes).
