I live on Social Security. Can a lien be placed on my bank account where the SS check is deposited?

If you owe someone (or a company) money & they go through the "legal system" to establish their claim... then ulimatly the origin of the funds (SS) is not an issue. Your money becomes theirs.

Co-signing a loan makes you liable on that loan which means the bank can come after you.\n\nBefore completing the loan, you should have received something called a NOTICE TO COSIGNER which explains your rights.  Hopefully, you kept this document.\n\nYou may be able to put a lien on his property only if the bank comes after you for the money.  Have they?\n\nIf so, you can go to court and try to get a judgment after the borrower of the student loan. If you're successful, you can put a lien on real estate he owns.  You could not, for example, put a lien on his car.\n\nI don't know why you would want to do this because you won't get a penny unless your friend sell his property.\n\nYou're better off with garnishing his wages.  But you still need to go to court and get a judgment in your favor.

You can place a stop payment on your check. A check is considered "Staled Dated" after 6 months. Our tellers here where I work are not to take a check dated older than 6 months. some check have a void after date, but on a personal account it is 6 months. I hope this helps you my friend.

If you are looking for information regarding liens on a particular property, those must be filed in local property records.  There's no special site for federal tax liens.  Any sort of lien (be it for federal, state or local taxes, or for a judgment) would be filed wherever your local property records are kept.

If there was a lien legally placed against your account, you probably can't get the money already taken back.  But you can try to, by asking the bank for a form to challenge an unauthorized transaction to your account--just tell a teller at the bank that there is an unauthorized withdrawal from your account, that the creditor claims to have a judgment, but that you have never been notified of it.  It is rare, but it does occasionally happen, that a creditor will lie about having a legal lien.  If the bank won't help you with this, you can stop future garnishments, at least for awhile, by getting a new bank account, preferably at a new bank.  \n\nYou can avoid people finding out your bank account numbers by not using checks to pay bills.  The creditor uses the information from your checks to obtain the lien.  Use money orders or travelers checks to pay bills instead.  \n\nIf you get a new account, and it is later garnished, you may have to stop keeping your money in the bank, as unpleasant as that would be.  \n\nI helped a friend with a similar problem recently.  Be sure not to give out your banking information to anybody.  Best wishes getting this straightened out.

Probably not.  The lien just preserves their right to make a claim against your property at some point in the future, usually when you go to transfer ownership or sell it.

Don't think you can but this looks helpful\nA family member or other person responsible for the beneficiary's affairs should do the following:\n\n- Promptly notify Social Security of the beneficiary's death by calling SSA toll-free at 1-800-772-1213. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call our "TTY" number, 1-800-325-0778, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on business days.\n- If monthly benefits were being paid via direct deposit, notify the bank or other financial institution of the beneficiary's death. Request that any funds received for the month of death and later be returned to Social Security as soon as possible.\n- If benefits were being paid by check, DO NOT CASH any checks received for the month in which the beneficiary died or thereafter.\n\nReturn the checks to Social Security as soon as possible. To find your local Social Security office, see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/locator/.\n\nA one-time payment of $255 is payable to the surviving spouse if he or she was living with the beneficiary at the time of death, OR if living apart, was receiving Social Security benefits on the beneficiary's earnings record. If there is no surviving spouse, the payment is made to a child who was eligible for benefits on the beneficiary's earnings record in the month of death.

It doesn't matter where the funds are from.  The account is what is restrained.  If you get the check issued directly to you and cash it out then you'll get to keep it, but once it's in the account it's just "your" money and there's no difference between it and any other money even if there is no "other" money in the account.  \n\nThe only way to protect the check is not to have it put into the account.

Yes, but your individual workers must know about the arrangement. They will give you your money appropriately. Just as you can work while on SSI also. There is a limit so you should ask your worker about it too. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately you need to contact the SS office. They should have a form they can send to you.

As others have said, Unemployment is not related to Social Security.  Asking if anything "comes out of your Social Security" seams to indicate you are under the common misconception that you have a social security account.  The social security taxes you pay are used to pay benefits to current recipients and most people receive more than they 'pay in'.  The so called 'trust fund' is a collection of IOUs from the federal government.
