A creditor can file a lawsuit against a debtor who has defaulted on a contract. But, all Social Security benefits are exempt under federal law from creditor garnishment.

This does not mean that if the creditor sues and receives a judgment against the debtor they will not have other means of executing the judgment to recover the debt owed.
