No. Disability benefits are exempt from judgment creditor action.
However, if the benefits are commingled with monies that are not exempted an bank account can be frozen by court order until it is determined the amount of funds that are exempted from seizure.

I have credit card debt and I let the bank reposses my home. Can the creditors garnish my disability and pension plan payments be garnished?
Credit card companies can't touch your bank account. They can threaten and do many other things like garnish your wages (if you have a job), send you to collections, etc, but they can't take money from your bank account. Creditor judgments can be executed as bank account levies in every state. The only exception in a very few states are accounts of married couples that are held as TBE. However, all SS, VA, RRB, and most private pensions and all government disability, supplemental income, etc. are exempt from garnishment for creditor debt in all states. Please be advised, SS, VA, RRB, and other retirement and disability benefits should NEVER be commingled with other funds in bank accounts. When such benefits are mixed with other income the creditor can request the account be frozen and the judge rule on what portion of funds are legally exempt.

Can a credit card company freeze a banking account when SS and VA benefits are the deposits made in it?
You had better check with the laws for your state -- in my state ( fl ) there is a comingling statute which means that if there are any other monies deposited into the account it can be frozen and garnished. and you have to show where the money came from. Google ( your state ) statutes on bank account freeze and garnisheement No. Both of the benefits are 100% exempt from creditor action. If however a lawsuit is initiated concerning the debt, it must be defended. Meaning the defendant (or their representative) needs to inform the court of all exempt property. Under state laws there are many exemptions available to the consumer to protect real and personal property.

Can VA disability and federal medical disability payments be taken by a creditor?
All Social Security (SS, SSI, SSD) VA and the most other disability benefits are exempt from attachment by creditors. It is very important that such benefits be held in a bank account separately and no deposits of any other funds be placed in said account. If the person has reason to believe that a creditor may attempt to garnish the exempted funds they should let the bank and the creditor know that they are exempt under federal and state laws. Some creditors will garnish exempted property either in error or in attempt to coerce the debtor into making a payment agreement or settlement. It would be advisable to consult an attorney if it is believed there is a possibility of garnishment action. Most attorney's offer free or minimal fee consultations, or you might wish to contact your state bar association's legal aid organization.
