A collection agency cannot seize a bank account period. ALL SS benefits are exempt from creditors. A collection agency cannot threaten to take your property nor do they have the power to do so. They can inform you that the account is being referred to a collection attorney who can pursue legal action. Be that as it may, your bank accounts are safe. You can inform the agency and the bank in no uncertain terms if they attempt such an action, you are prepared to sue for damages. The only way to stop collection bullies, is to play offense not defense.
A collection agency can collect from someone on social security or disability. If you incurred a debt, you can be prosecuted.
Absolutely not!!!! A collection agency has no kind of authority to touch anyone's social security disability benefits. Or anything else. Scare tactics, empty threats are all a debt collection can do. If u dont want to pay a bill, thats the consumer's choice, not those fools!!
Collection agencies can not freeze anything. Only courts can freeze bank accounts.

Collection of disability from Missouri state is done at the Social Security Administration office. Visit its Missouri office, fill up application form, and present all requirements.
I used to work for a collection agency, and as far as I remember, no you can't. That would be like trying to garnish a social security check. I don't think they can do that.

As of 2023, Pennsylvania, like other states, does not have its own state-funded Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program; benefits are provided through the federal Social Security Administration. The amount an individual receives can vary based on their work history and earnings, with the average monthly benefit being around $1,300. Additionally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is available for those with limited income and resources, with Pennsylvania providing a state supplement to the federal SSI benefit. For specific amounts, individuals should consult the Social Security Administration or local resources.
