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.
The amount of your monthly SSI disability check depends on whether you're married, whether you have any income, and where you live. Everyone on SSI disability (Supplemental Security Income) is eligible for the same base amount, $735 (in 2017). But your actual monthly SSI payment will depend on whether you have any countable income, whether you are married, and what state you live in.
