[blindlaw] Are Disability Benefits Judgment Proof?

[Ray Wayne]

Parnell:
Thanks.  Is that part of the Social Security Act?  Sorry, I'm not connected
to a legal data base at home, and our law library at work is, shall we say,
limited.
The situation is that someone who has a judgment against a person who
happens to be on SSDI has gotten an order freezing her bank account.  She is
now moving to vacate that order so that she can have access to her own
money.  She has submitted proof that the money in her account is SSDI money.
Assuming it pertains to Social Security benefits, I think what you sent me
should answer the question.
Thanks again.
Ray
