Social security disability A basic primer
Q: If you are in debt, are the social security disability payments you receive in jeopardy of being taken away by a collection bureau? A: If you currently receive supplemental security income payments, no creditor can touch those payments. Those who collect SSDI payments, however, are not immune from all collections agencies. If you are in financial trouble with businesses, credit card companies, mortgage companies, etc, they cannot touch your payments. On the other hand, your payments are not safe from governmental agencies. For instance, the government can dip into your social security disability benefits payments if you are behind on a government insured student loan.
