    Default Can My Wife Claim Head of Household if I Am on Social Security Disability

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of:FL My wife has a default judgment for an unpaid medical bill. Since I am on SS disability and can't work, she makes more than I, and our 36 yr old son lives with us and he is unemployed and can't find a job. Can she claim head of household to prevent them from garnishing her wages? PS she is also on temporary disability thru her employer because of a broken foot.

    Disability can't be garnished so she can file for exemption on that basis.

    If she's earning and provide more than half the support for a dependent she can claim the head of household exemption.

    OK, but do me and/or my son qualify as her dependents since she makes more than 50% of our income ?

    If she supports you then she can claim you as a dependent.
