    Default Garnishing Social Security Benefits to Collect Unpaid Alimony

    My question involves judgment recovery in the State of: TN

    I won in court a garnishment for alimony for $1000 per month from my ex husbands social security. I am not sure how to get the garnishment started. I have sent the decree and other documents to Social Security. I even had the court send it, I met with Social Security multiple times and haven't been able to get a check coming every month. I am also owed $14,000 in back alimony. Thanks for your time. How do I collect it?

    One quick question - exactly what do you mean by "social security"?

    There's a reason I'm asking

    Same situation here. But I need court ordered payment of 1/2 of loan and my ex spouse is on SSDI. I learned I am SOL because it can not be garnished inspite of the court order.

    Your situation is completely different.

    SSDI CAN be garnished to satisfy spousal and/or child support obligations.

    SSDI CANNOT be garnished for any other non-government obligations.

    SSI can't be garnished, period.
