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.
Social Security Disability Claim. If your application for Social Security disability benefits is approved, your first check will be paid for the sixth full month after the date your disability began. For example, if the Social Security Administration decides your disability began in March, your first disability check will be paid for the month of September.
