Social Security and disability benefits are exempt by federal law from garnishment by judgment creditors. It is very important that the debtor does not commingled exempt funds with non exempt funds to avoid the possiblity of the account being "frozen" by the court until the issue is resolved.

A judgment creditor can, however, seize any other non exempted personal property such as bonds, stocks, etc. or place a lien against real property belonging to the debtor.
