Can a disabled person on SSI have a garnishment agenst them?
NO, YOU CAN NOT. It was just on the national news the other night. According to the story, there are certain monies that people receive that cannot be taken by creditors for any reason. The stories focus was on permenently disabled persons and others, who are having their bank accounts cleaned out electronically by their creditors What happens is in this age of electronic deposits and withdrawls, what happens if that a creditor sends the bank a court order to hand over the funds of the debtor, and the bank complies, claiming that they can't know which funds are exempt and which aren't. Advocacy groups for the people claim that is hogwash and that banks have the computer software needed to make, in many instances , obvious and simple determinations of the funds they are not allowed to release.,...I'll try and remember the income that is exempt from collection agencies and creditors...Here goes: SSI (social security payments, Disabled veterens payments, Physical and Mental Disability Payments, Disability Pensions, and other elderley and special circumstance payments. There are more that I can't remember, so you should try calling some banks in your area, also see if you can find the Department On Aging....or Department for Elderly rights..etc...You should look in the white page section, not the yellow pages of your local phone book; look for pages that are a different color, usually BLUE, that lists STATE and FEDERAL agencies to contact for this question. GOOD LUCK!!!! <<<ADR>>>

How do you know if social networking is secure?
In the past Facebook users information seeped out in to the real world but now I believe they have got to grips with this. Most of the social networking sites are there to get your information out to friends or business associates or family members, so, there is always some of your information around and about on the information super highway.
A lot of these sites are like rumours, you say something it passes on to one and then another and you only think you are telling people who you know. The search engines love these social media sites, so generally once something is said it tends to go pretty quickly to the higher levels of the search engines search, maybe page one, two or three, so even people who don't know you can track your Tweets, your Facebook rants and worldly observances. By and large, a lot of these companies have got their act together but in most cases it is up to the user of these services to lock down their profiles and information. If you were using Facebook for instance and another user could not see your information it kind of defeats the object of social networking in the first place, there has to be some kind of sharing of data. Even if these companies employ some kind of high-tech wizardry to stop your information getting out into the public eye. It is still up to you yourself to lock up, lock down or just not use these services. A lot of the time they are just full with people trying to make a quick buck, make business associations and get there products maybe a little higher in the searches.

Where is the best place to retire on social security outside the US?
The simple answer is: Where you enjoy the most and can afford it.
But if the question relates to cost of living, low crime rate, no extreme weather, good low cost medical attention, proximity to USA, Nicaragua would match these criteria.
At only 2 hour flight from Miami, FL, 3 hours from Houston or Atlanta, a JCI certified international Hospital with bilingual doctors, where a meal for two at an expensive steak house runs under $30 (without alcohol), 2,000 sq. ft homes rent for $1,000 per month and maid service for $150 monthly you can't beat it.

If a creditor tries to garnish your social security check, inform them that unless one of the five exceptions apply, your benefits can not be garnished. You also may want to provide this same information to your financial institution and seek legal assistance if you believe it is needed.
Section 207 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 407) protects Social Security benefits from assignment, levy, or garnishment. However, the law provides five exceptions:
The Social Security Administration's responsibility for protecting benefits against legal process and assignment usually ends when the beneficiary is paid. However, once paid, benefits continue to be protected under section 207 of the Act as long as they are identifiable as Social Security benefits using normal banking practices. For example, only social security benefits are deposited into a particular bank account.

Can your same-sex spouse receive social security survivor benefits based on your work history?
Currently no. The United States Social Security Administration relies upon the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act as justification for denial of substantial monthly payments that a same-sex spouse would otherwise be entitled to. Under certain conditions, even a divorced ex-spouse is entitled to these benefits, as long as he/she is of the opposite gender.
Can a social security number of a 5 year old be used to bring home cash?
Yes, it can. But typically would not be unless someone is trying to be clever. Trouble with being clever is that there are usually two parents of a child - and either can get ideas afterwards.
And it gets worse. What if a relative - uncle or grandparent or sister or such - wants to claim that the parent is not a fit parent, and that they need to be appointed the child's guardian? That's right - the guardian then administers the property.
Understand also, if any of this is in any way being done to avoid a tax, that will either not work, or lead to more trouble. Property tax must be paid no matter what. Any other tax issues would smack of "evasion".
Can your husband's ex-wife collect on his Social Security?
Yes. If you were married to her 10+ years she can collect part of your SS. Let's say you were divorced at 9 years, but when the divorce was final it was at the 10 year mark. She can still collect. I suggest you go to the SS website. It is very good and you can get answers to your questions.
NO! Even if you can prove later that you do have the permit it is still driving with out proper identification and you may receive a fine. (no matter who's in the car with you.)
You need to contact social Services or Legal aid, you should be getting this Social Security money because you are not living at home, if your Father has died then you are entitled to some income especially when you are on your own , now contact these people ASAP
The living parent may still be ordered to pay support.
Why doesn't the living parent have custody?
