If your only source of income is Social Security disability payments can the credit card companies take these payments to pay off your debts to them?

No, ALL Social Security benefits are exempt from creditor attachment. The person should take care to not commingle funds in a bank account. For SS benefits to be completely protected they should be kept in a separate account, and the bank notified of the account deposit status. Any SS or private disability benefits are mixed with other funds, the person should be aware that bank accounts are subject to garnishment and therefore all SS benefits deposited in said account should be clearly identified as such.
