I was in a car accient and I received a Summons from the State of Wisconsin, Circuit Court Civil Division. If I don't respond with a written answer in 45 days they can do anything to me! I would like to know if the courts can take money away from me? I get SSD.

From a SSI website " Yes, social security disability benefits can be garnished. However, garnishment can only be carried out in a few specific scenarios. According to the social security administration, SSI benefits cannot be garnished, while social security disability benefits may only be garnished to enforce child and alimony obligations, pay federal tax and debts owed to the IRS, and pay debts owed to federal agencies"

It is no clear. Who is suing you, the State of Wisconsin, or some private party? I suspect you are being sued in a state court, but the State is not a party to the suit.
