Can ssi benefits be garnished by creditors?

Generally, no. SSI benefits are considered exempt from garnishment by creditors under federal law. This means that creditors cannot garnish your SSI benefits to satisfy a debt. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, SSI benefits may be subject to garnishment for certain types of debts, such as child support or alimony. Additionally, some states have laws that allow creditors to garnish SSI benefits under certain circumstances. If you are concerned about your SSI benefits being garnished, you should contact your local Social Security office for more information.
