You may qualify for SSD Benefits

If you have unpaid, seriously overdue debts, which you have been court ordered to pay, one of the things your creditors can do is petition your state’s court system to allow a garnishment. When a writ of garnishment is issued, your assets can be frozen, allowing your creditors to clear out your bank accounts and garnish a percentage of your wages or other income. The amount of income which may be garnished varies somewhat from state to state.
