    Social Security benefits exempt from levy, garnishment, and assignment?
    Are Social Security benefits [checks] exempt from levy, garnishment, and assignment if federal school loans are delinquent or child support payments are owed? If they are exempt what law states that they are [citation]?

    They are not exempt from federal debts or child support payments, no, those are some of the few things they can be garnished for.
