Piedad Bassiti: no, the only thing it can be garnish for are student loans, back taxes, child support, alimony or anything you owe to any other federal agency. But private companies can't.

Daria Verfaillie: I believe that Federal Agencies are the only ones who can garnish your Disability check. Things like Child Support, Back Taxes and Student Loans.

You've got enough going on right now, and shouldn't be worried about what the creditors are going to do next!...Show more
