SSD and other Social Security benefits are exempt by federal law from garnishment by judgment creditors. The exception is IRS garnishment for tax arrearages and court ordered child support.

Private disability benefits such as WIC are generally exempt as well, but state laws determine if they are exempted in total or percentage.

Social Security benefits can and are garnished for past due child support. SSI cannot be garnished.
