Social security income cannot be garnished: they cannot "intercept" the social security payments to you. Therefore, unlike income from work, your income stream is "judgment proof." But money sitting in your bank account be executed or leveied upon (taken), even if the original source is social security; do not accumulate too much in bank account which the other side may be able to locate or identify.
