Social Security Intercepts

Can social security be intercepted for unpaid hospital bills? And if so, will the Social Security pay off the unpaid hospital bills before unpaid child support?

Reply from DebtCollectionAnswers.com: Social Security income is typically protected from garnishment by creditors. However, there have been situations where creditors have gone after bank accounts that contain Social Security funds. If you owe unpaid child support, that is the top priority.

It sounds like you may have several different debts you are struggling with. It would be a good idea for you to at least get a free consultation with a bankruptcy attorney to find out what your creditors can and cannot do to collect from you.
