Social security benefits What they say
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. Government entities can collect your benefits checks, however. For instance, the government can dip into your social security disability benefits payments if you are behind on a government insured student loan. Additionally, your payments can be taken away to pay alimony and child support.
