Depends on who the Creditor is. If it is the IRS, it is possible. If it is your bank and you have direct deposit, YES. If it is your state and you do not post the funds through a bank, the state would have to take you to court, so will most other Creditors.
The creditor has to prove that you owe a bill, the court is interested in you making an arrangement to pay the bill at the earliest point without causing a cancer on society.

First, if you owe a government agency they can and will granish your SSA check. If it is a creditor then they can if those funds are still recognizable as SSA benefits. Meaning you get a paper check or you use an acount for only SSA benefits and it appears in your account like that. If you are on SSI nothing can be garnished not even child support. It is tax payer dollars they can use that to pay your debts. Look on the SSA website they show you the law in which your SSA benefits are protected. In case anything ever happens creditors are sleazy.

It would depend on what type of credit judgment you are referring to. A friend of mine just had her social security attached to for a hospital bill, but it still required her signature.

This depends on the state that you live in. If your state allows garnishment for debts, then yes, it can happen. I live in NC where the state legislature has outlawed garnishment except for two cases:1)state income tax owed, and 2)child support owed. So maybe you should move to North Carolina!

Yes, depending on the amount of the credit judgment.

Oh man! Once again a collection of completely uninformed answers.
Say Fleshy, you are obviously a collection agent. You refer to a new law.....how about giving us a source?
You need to read Title III of the federal law.....SSI wages can not be garnished, except in a very few cases (child support, federal taxes, etc...)....NEVER by creditors or collection agents (...you listening Fleshy?)
