The federal government is immune from liability for damages arising from its failure to withhold Social Security disability benefits payments in accordance with a child support garnishment order, the New Jersey Appellate Division has ruled in vacating a $119,000 judgment. The plaintiff was awarded child support from her daughter's father. In connection with the award of child support, the plaintiff obtained an income garnishment order against the man. Because the father claimed entitlement to Social Security disability benefits, a copy of the garnishment order was allegedly mailed to the Social Security Administration, though the government denied receipt.
A television service provider did not violate federal law by charging an early termination fee against a Social Security recipient's debit card account, the 7th Circuit has ruled in affirming judgment.

A change in federal rules could strengthen the rights of retirees, veterans and disabled Oklahomans against bank garnishments that would delete their federal benefit funds, an official with Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma said this week. The new rule, Legal Aid Litigation Director Mike Miller said, is being proposed by the U.S. Treasury Department and is expected to take effect on May 1. He said the rule would limit creditors' ability to freeze and take funds from accounts that contain Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Veterans Affairs and other federal benefits.
