By law, debt collectors other than the US government can't touch your Social Security benefits, but they can levy other assets or income. The best way to keep your disability income safe is to open a separate bank account and use it exclusively for your monthly government check(s).

You can also inform the collectors that attempting to garnish your benefits violates Section 207 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 407).
