Q. Are social security benefits protected from creditors?

2 March 2017

A: SSDI/SSI benefits are generally protected from creditors. There are some exceptions such as money owed to federal government (unpaid taxes) or child support owed. Here is a link to another response addressing Social Security funds and protection they have from creditors if direct deposit into your bank account: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/protections-social-security-funds-bank-accounts.html#

Q. Can Social Security withhold the formula and the calculations to offset and used to calculate my benifits

2 March 2017

A: If you are referring to how your Social Security retirement and disability amount is calculated, you can enroll online at: https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ You will be able to see a detailed earnings record and description of how the benefit is calculated and if you disagree with it you have the opportunity to contact SSA to notify them of any errors that you may find in the earnings record. It is a good place to start for more information on that.
