Generally, if a debt collector sues you over a past due debt and wins a judgment against you, your bank cannot be ordered to take your Social Security payments or income you may receive from a pension or some other retirement fund to satisfy that judgment. However, federal benefits may be seized under certain circumstances -- to pay any delinquent taxes, student loans, spousal support or child support you may own, for example.
