    No, they cannot, but they WILL try. Your boyfriend needs to submit the necessary paperwork that shows he needs every dime of his Social Security payments to survive. This includes a statement of his net worth. If he has other assets, such as a paid-for house or investments, then the IRS is free to garnish the Social Security payments or to put a lien on those assets.
