It can be for child support or federal loans (college).
For debts like credit cards or medical bills, no.

Yes, a Social Security check can be garnished. My father's was much less with the difference going to my Mother to repay the child support that he had never paid.

If it is for a federal or state debt, then YES, you can get a portion of your SSA benefits seized.
