Can the IRS levy or garnish a Social Security Disability Settlement Check?
Social Security does not allow garnishment of disability benefits by creditors. Any credit card company, business, or individual who has won a judgment against you will never garnish your Social Security disability check.
Social Security will allow garnishment of your Social Security disability benefits for current and past due child support or alimony. And the Internal Revenue Service is allowed to garnish Social Security disability and retirement benefits for delinquent taxes.
Also, in addition to the IRS, other federal agencies may be allowed to garnish Social Security disability benefits.
For instance, if an individual owes student loans that were federally guaranteed their Social Security disability benefit can be garnished.
In theory, any money owed to the federal government can conceivably be garnished from Social Security retirement or disability checks.
If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits, however, no creditor can garnish your benefit, not even the Federal Government. Since SSI is a need based disability benefit, it cannot be garnished.

Four reasons for conducting a population census?
Types and Importance, or Reasons for Population Census
1. It must be conducted by government of the state or country where the census is taking place.
2. It must be conducted at the same time (simultaneously) throughout the country.
3. It must involve regular counting at specific intervals of time.
4. It must reveal the population of a country at a specific period of time
5. It must involve the physical counting of people rather than by proxy.
6. It must involve experts who are knowledgeable in population studies and they must be of high integrity.
Types of population Census
There are two main types of population census and they are:
1. Defector Population census: This is the type of population census which involves the counting of only those who are present physically during census. In this group, only those who are present physically or seen are counted.
2. De jure population census: This is the type of population census which involves the counting of people who have been permanent residents of a specific area. It does not matter whether the person is present of not. This is population census commonly referred to as counting by proxy.
Importance or Reasons of Population Census
The importance or reasons for conducting a population census include: aiding the government to know the number of people living in the country and the structure of the population; helping in the determination of taxable adults so as to know the amount of revenue expected from that sector; enabling the country to forecast her future economic needs e.g., housing, food etc and the provision of statistics to the government to determine the level of unemployment in the country
Further importance could be: its assistance in the determination of the standard of living of the people in a country through per capital income; using the statistics of the number of people in a country to formulate economic policies e.g., revenue formula is at times based on population figures; the estimation of the number of immigrants in a country, the assistance to the government in the distribution of resources e.g., areas of high population will get more resources than areas of Low population; giving the government an idea of the different population in various parts of the country and this can help in the provision of social amenities like housing, water, electricity, roads, schools, hospitals etc. It doesn't just end there, Population census is also very vital in giving detailed information to the government on areas of the country where population per land area is high or low; reveals level of man power by helping to reveal the total number of people who are working-when the level of manpower is high, the economic development of the country is assured and assists international agencies and governments in giving aids and other assistance to countries; assists international investors in making investment decisions. In some developing nations, Population is often used to allocate parliamentary seats. States with high Population are given more parliamentary seats than states with low population.
So all said and done, population census as we can now see is far beyond just counting the population of a particular area at a particular time. It can go a long way in helping an area's or nation's economy to grow even as it varies from one year to another.

Is it legal to open someone else's mail at work?
No. Federal privacy laws prohibits the opening of another person's mail.

Obviously there can be large variances in how the law is applied.
Wrong! That law applies only to postal employees. Well, unless the question was posted by a postal employee, in which case....
See 463 F.Supp 128; 403 F.Supp. 1368;
Try 18 USC 1702. That one applies to civilians:
Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

One concern is the assumption that it's much easier for a crooked election worker who knows how to access the data to manipulate the digital election records than to altar a large stack of paper ballots. A second concern is that the voting "machines" could be preprogrammed to default to a particular party, which was an actual complaint from several people at at least one location in 2012. A less commonly heard concern is that the use of electronic equipment might scare off some who would otherwise gladly vote on paper given the opportunity (perhaps some elderly who have never used any type of electronic communications medium).
