I am 100% disabled living on SS & SSI. I am being sued by a private creditor for a debt (allegedly) I incurred before my disability reached a level at which I could not work. I own no real property and only the modest bare necessities of life. I have no savings. Can a judgment against me should such occur cause my SS or SSI disability income to be attached or otherwise taken from me by the private creditor? bishop17@mindspring.com

My sole income is Social Security Disability! Before I was awarded S.S.I. benifits I attempted to go To Devry which I dropped out of ! I was led to believe that the student loan would be returned to the government! It wasn't ! Now 25% of my social security is being garnished for a Student Loan that I never used! Is there anything that I can do?

I am applying for CA Disabilty. Can I receive SSI beneftis as well? What if I am receivng Unemplyment Insuarnce..do I have to give that up. What are the issues involved in getting approved for SSI disability? I am also receiving my deceased husband's social security. Does that go awy if I am approved?

I have a lawyer on my appeal. But I don't know what my chances are. Do you have any way of knowing what chances a person has based on their medical conditions?? Mike T.

In a word NO!! These ss disability funds cannot be garnished for unsecured debts. Also creditors cannot harass you. Search Jerome Lemet for more details.
