Best Answer: Social Security benefits are normally considered judgment proof. Which means they can not be garnished (taken) You can still sue them but if the person who owes you money only receives income from social security then you can not collect from them. The lawsuit will remain on record however and if social security benefits stop and/or there is another source of income.
Get Legal Help with Your Disability Claim. You can apply for Social Security disability insurance benefits and long-term disability (LTD) insurance benefits at the same time. However, your LTD company will offset the Social Security disability payments. That means it will find out how much Social Security is paying you and will subtract that amount from your LTD payment.
