Can your SSI check be garnished for a repossession of a mobile home? My friend's SSI check has been cut in half due to her children turning 18. She can no longer afford the payments on her home so she is allow it to go back. Can they garnish her SSI check? |

SSI cannot even be garnished by the federal government. Only SSDI can be garnished under certain circumstances, such as owing child support, alimony or owing money to the federal government. Because SSI is need-based it cannot be garnished under any circumstances at all. The government recognizes that those who are receiving SSI payments do not receive enough in order to have any of it garnished and still survive.
http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/detail/a_i d/426/~/garnishing-social-security-benefits-due-to -a-debt This government site clearly states what circumstances SSDI can be garnished for and that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) cannot be levied at all (in the note).
