Social security is my only source of income.  I've heard that it may not be garnisheed or a lien placed on my bank account because the money coming to that account is directly from SS.  Is that true?

If you owe someone (or a company) money & they go through the "legal system" to establish their claim... then ulimatly the origin of the funds (SS) is not an issue. Your money becomes theirs.

no they can't touch your SSI check. but if you have it in your checking account then they can take it that way. just use a check cashing place.

If your future spouse works, they take that into consideration. SSD may cut your check some depending on how much your spouse makes but you wont lose all of it.

SSI is only intended for the payee.\n\nNo, you can't do it on the net.\n\nCall your local SS office.

Yes. Federal aid is based on a need basis. If you have money in your account, then you dont need money. And yes, they have the right to verify that what you claim is actually the truth.

what interest are expecting from worker's comp?  it's a disability check...not regular income...or checking account...and it's tax-free money...not sure what you're looking for.

Even if you don't have enough income but are legal in the US (with permission to work) I would file taxes so that the income is considered for your SS statments.

Just have him write it out to you and cash it at the bank.  If he doesn't file a 1099 with your social security number on it at year end it will not be taxable.  Just because you cash a check in your name does not mean the bank reports it to the IRS as taxable income, besides, if he owes it to you you must have loaned it to him in some form.

Seriously are you insane putting a SSN on the internet?\n\nAsk about "finding unclaimed property."

SS helps cover different situations.  Disabilities, survivors, etc.  Depending on why you are on SS, your children may or may not be able to get money.  But any money the government paid them would not off set the child support.  You would still be obligated to pay that as well.\n\nYou can call SS to ask about them getting money, but you will still have to pay child support.

If the problem is with the IRS, you should call the IRS ombudsman, whose number should be in the phone book under US Government - IRS.\n\nIf your only income is from SSDI, your distribution can only be assessed for taxes and only up to 15%.\n\nI don't see how any information from your previous employer is relevant to anything.

If you mean after you gave it to them NEVER.  All personal information should be confidential.  The only time they will give it out is collect a debt.  Some companies sell your name and address to companies for spam, junk mail or direct mailings specifially for people that fit certain profiles.  Nothing justifies SSN except collections.

Are you still paying them? I mean putting money into the account that they are garnishing? Are they garnishing it or do they have a "HOLD" on your account until the funds are paid? You take a risk having Direct deposit into ANY account, they can and will find out and then your mother's funds will be held as well. The best thing you can do is get your paycheck in your hand, then cash it at a check cashing store or something of the like, then you can deposit the money into your mom's account. That won't stop them from going further though. The credit a**holes may even try to get the money taken directly out of your check, they do this by going to court and getting a legal document to send to your job, then your employer will know your in debt as well. It sucks, but if I were you, I'd do what I could to get it paid off asap, they don't care what your circumstances are, they just want their money.\nSTOP DIRECT DEPOSIT all together !!!!\n\n\nAdditional:\n\nFor Chef,,, I live in Illinois and this happened to me, they froze my account.  I owed medical bills, under my name alone, I did not have the money, my child was sick, they put a "hold" on my bank account which also had my husband's name on it and neither of us could touch the money in there until the funds were enough to pay off the debt. I went to the bank, the creditor, everyone because my husband had direct deposit and we had to pay rent, they did NOT care... just said.. pay the debt and we'll lift the hold... the judges don't care either, they grant these bloodsuckers the permission to do these things without the slightest regard to circumstance !! I had to borrow money to be able to get the rent paid, then my husband cancelled his direct deposit until we had enough $$ to pay off the debt.. for all those saying they can't legally do it... they did... it happened to me and I went to a lawyer too and they told me there was nothing that could be done because they had a signed judgement against me. I begged everyone and their brother from bank workers to nasty receptionists at the company responsible.. this was over a medical bill... not like I charged up shoes or something, my son was very ill and needed treatment, if I would have had the $$ I would have paid.. regardless... they can do it in some states.. they DID do it... STOP DIRECT DEPOSIT ASAP !!!

If it's on your credit report, the only (repeat: ONLY) way it got there was by an identification identifier that's acceptable. For credit, that identifier is your social security number. \n\nSo, you may not have given them your SSN, but they got it somewhere. \n\nThat said, you now have a charge off on your credit, and it will be a long time before anyone will extend you credit again. Even if you paid that card off, the chargeoff will stay. \n\nI'd select the people I chose to do financial business with (or share a credit card with) more carefully in the future.

I am a Medical worker and know this much.  It would not be considered income, but could possibly be considered property.  There is a 2000.00 property limit, but you could invest her income in an annuity or something like that and that would be considered property.  You could also use the money to pay off old debts, purchase a home, car, etc....just save the receipts.  There is a time she has to spend down the money.  If it is just Medicare she is on and not Medicaid, there may be no property limit, and she may be fine.  I would contact the social security office and ask or check out the website.  Also, alot of people dont know, if she is below the 2000.00 property limit, Medicaid or Medical will pay her "buy in" premium for Medicare, thus meaning she would be taking home the 88.50 that she spends for Medicare.  All kinda confusing, but worth it.  Good luck.

I agree with you on the position that staying home parent and taking care of the kids is a full time job.  But unfortunately since you are not earning income you are not considered working by the laws.  Why loan companies do not accept you only based on your income? Because you don't have any.  This is how they are looking at it- if they give you the money and you don't pay them (either loan for a mortgage or car or personal loan) how can they get money back from you?  From where?  If you earn money they can get a garnishment of your income.  And keep in mind that they are not in the business of repo-ing cars or taking away your house.  Don't get me wrong-they'll do it if they have no other choice but they would prefer to have another outlet of collecting their money.
