Owing taxes or child support
The government can also take money from Social Security to pay for back taxes or child support.
Garnishment for taxes is limited to 15% of your monthly benefits, the same as for federal student loans. However, if you owe child support, get ready for the government to take as much as 65% of your benefits to pay for that obligation if you’re in arrears.
